(MENAFN) Dubai Municipality has asked Department of Economic Development not to renew licences of 119 cafes and closing their activities for violating the terms of the Federal Law on Tobacco Control, a senior official said on Sunday.
In detail, Redha Salman, director of occupational health and safety department of the municipality, said that 571 cafes have also been issued fines during an inspection campaign regarding compliance to the law, which also covers cafes.
"The law prohibits offering shishas in cafes near mosques, educational institutions, clubs and residential areas; offering shishas without permission; violating items in the permits; and the presence of children less than 18 years inside the cafes," added Salman.
He pointed out that the municipality has launched inspection campaigns on cafes in Dubai to ensure compliance to the provisions of the Federal Law No. (15) of 2009 on Tobacco Control and its Executive Order No. 24 of 2013 after it entered into force.
