The authority confirmed that the administrative closure order will continue as long as the reasons for it exist
The administrative order No.15 for 2008 issued by Shaikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of Ajman Department of Municipality and Planning, aims at maintaining healthy and clean environment in the emirate.
The municipal authorities will launch an inspection campaign to ensure that all groceries and food outlets were complying with the new ban.
The municipality will impose Dh10,000 fine on anyone violating the rule and in case of repeat violation the fine would be doubled.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Khaled Al Houseny, head of the Health Directorate at Ajman Municipality, said the decision was taken after the municipality inspectors noticed that the products which affect the cleanliness and environment of the emirate were being sold all over the place.
Around 30 shops were fined, warned and some of them forced to shut down. The municipality, in coordination with schools in the emirate, caught many shops in the vicinity of schools selling cigarettes to those under the age of 18. Many shops were ordered closed when it was proved that they sold cigarettes to under-age youngsters.
