Dubai is set to celebrate Eid Al Fitr with a four-day holiday starting April 20
For Eid Al Fitr, Dubai Police said that all necessary preparations have been completed with their partners to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration, according to a statement by state news-agency WAM.
The plan includes securing all mosques and large prayer grounds where Eid Al Fitr prayers are held, followed by deploying patrols on all roads, increasing security measures in vital areas, tourist spots, shopping centres and open markets, the statement said.
To strengthen Dubai Police will deploy:
- 66 traffic sergeants
- 798 private security personnel
- 165 lifeguards at Dubai beaches
- 14 maritime security boats
- 123 ambulances
- 738 paramedics
- 10 rescue boats
- 4,387 police officers
- 29 bicycle patrols
- 465 security patrols
- 75 civil defence vehicles
- 24 small cranes
- 17 land rescue patrols
Al Ghaithi also “confirmed the readiness of the Command and Control Centre to receive emergency reports 24/7,” the statement said, adding this will ensure “the swift arrival of specialised police teams.”
The public can call 901 for non-emergency cases and 999 for emergencies or use the “Police Eye” service via Dubai Police smart app to report any observations or violations, he said.
In addition, Al Ghaithi has urged the public to follow speed limits on roads, avoid high-speed driving, and pay attention to children in beaches and other public spaces.
He further warned families against allowing their children to play with fireworks during Eid Al Fitr as this could result in severe burns, deformities, and even permanent disabilities.
“Fireworks can also lead to fires that threaten lives and property, causing material and environmental damages,” he added.
