Ministry of Labour (MoL) will stop issuing work permits to establishments that do not provide proper accommodation to workers.
Minister of Labour Saqr Ghobash Saeed Ghobash said: "The ministry of labour is going ahead with implementing its policies, which also entitles the ministry to deny issuance of new work permits to establishments that do not provide accommodations which are not compliant with standards stipulated in the ministry's guidelines."
