The shisha cafes are affecting security and environment, as well as creating disturbance to the residents living in the buildings around them, officials said.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Brigadier Saeed Humaid, Director of Ajman Police Stations urged the municipality to be more organised in terms of issuing licence to shisha cafes.
“The licences should not be issued for a cafe located in residential areas,” he said.
Brig. Humaid said that the Directorate of the Ajman Police Stations will target the shisha cafes in which illegal practices are carried out by regular customers. The police stations are receiving a large number of complaints against the disturbance caused, following loud arguments and fights by the customers.
“As police, our duty is to maintain security and stability for the public in the emirate,” he commented.
Brig. Humaid said that the number of shisha cafes is increasing in the emirate.
“In some areas, both sides of the street are lined up by shisha cafes. These shisha cafes have become a shelter for those who are unemployed, and teenagers who sit smoking shisha and talking in loud voices till late in the night. Such activities affect security and encourage crimes. Residents around these cafes get affected by the disturbance, as children who have exams are not able to concentrate on their studies, while the women cannot move out alone on the streets at night.”
“In addition, smoke produced by shisha pollutes the environment and affects the health of new-born babies, as well as older people,” he said, pointing out that cafes should be located near the shore of the creek or Ajman Corniche.
Brig. Humaid said that his directorate is making great efforts in organising a campaign targeting Internet cafes in which the students skip their school to spend their learning time in browsing unethical web sites.
He said that last month, around 50 students were caught sitting in Internet cafes in various parts of the emirate, having skipped classes without the knowledge of their parents. The students were taken to the police department and their parents were summoned by the investigation officers to notify them about the misconduct of their children, he added.
Brig. Humaid pointed out that the campaign aims at alerting the parents about the misconduct of their children to help them and encourage them to be serious about learning and education. It is also aimed at protecting students from being idle and getting involved in crimes.
