During the meeting, a financial contribution of one hundred thousand dirhams was presented by the council, allocated to defaulting inmates and caring for the children of the inmates.

His Excellency Khalfan Saeed Al Marri revealed that the Council was keen to reach common recommendations and important decisions that achieve the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah and his wife, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Muhammad Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs in Sharjah, to establish suburban councils and activate their roles with other institutions and departments to serve the people of Sharjah.
