Dubai Police have increased their vigilance against begging and illegal butchery, particularly during religious holidays like Eid Al Adha. Brigadier Ali Salem Al Shamsi, Director of the Criminal Phenomena Department, reported that 50 violators were arrested last year for exploiting public sympathy through various begging tactics, including electronic solicitations. The ongoing 'Anti-Begging' campaign aims to address both traditional begging in public spaces and modern methods via social media. Authorities emphasize that begging is illegal in the UAE and often involves organized schemes designed to deceive the public. Additionally, the police warned against itinerant butchers who operate without proper hygiene standards, especially during Eid, raising concerns about public health. Residents are advised to report any suspicious activities through the Dubai Police’s toll-free number or their smart application, ensuring that charitable donations are directed only to recognized organizations.
