The Kuwait Interior Ministry (Mol) has made due arrangements to guarantee people's security during Ramadhan as per directives of the Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Khaled Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah, the Kuwait News Agency has reported.
The Director of the ministry's security media and public relations department Brigadier Adel Al-Hashash stressed the need for vigilance to guarantee full security control. The security arrangements for Ramadan are critical as there is relatively heavy traffic on the streets, especially in shopping areas and places of worship, during the month, Al-Hashash said.
The Mol is keen on streamlining the traffic, deploying patrols in major areas nationwide, he noted. The traffic lights will be recalibrated to fit with Ramadan's rush hours, mainly before maghrib.
Al-Hashash further noted that the Mol works hard to curb panhandlers in Kuwait, especially in the daytime during Ramadhan. The statement also cautioned that eating in public during the hours of fasting in Ramadhan is against the law. Offenders may be jailed for a month, asked to pay a KD100 fine, or liable for both penalties.
