Chasing 215 for victory against Punjab, Hyderabad reached the target with five balls to spare at their home
Screengrab from a video shows faithful walk through metal detectors in a Dubai mosque.
Dubai - Video footages showing walk-through security gates being installed in some mosques in Dubai have gone viral on social networking sites. A Dubai government source has confirmed that metal detectors have been set up in some mosques, with plans to set up such gates in some more mosques.
Security guards will be stationed at mosque gates and CCTV cameras will also be installed.
The source said this is a precautionary measure in the wake of the recent bombings claimed by Daesh that targeted mosques in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. “The security bodies endeavour to provide residents with security by equipping places in the emirate with metal and explosive detectors,” the source said.
He did not clarify if such detectors will be installed at other places like hotels and shopping centres.
At the extraordinary meeting of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Interior ministers in Kuwait on Friday, the ministers stressed the unity of member states in dealing with terror attacks directed at Shia mosques.
