The Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs (MADLSA), in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Municipality Environment (MME), has launched a campaign to inspect workers’ housing in residential neighbourhoods of Doha region.
The campaign is being carried out in all areas of Doha such as Al Najma, Al Mansoura, Bin Dirham, The Old Salata, Riffa, Old Ghanem, in addition to market areas such as Al Asmakh Street, Abdullah Bin Thani Street, Musheireb, Doha, Freej Abdulaziz and Al Montazah.
The campaign aims to ensure the implementation of adequate health requirements in terms of number of residents, cleanliness and safety measures.
The move is in pursuant to Law No (22) of 2019 amending some provisions of Law No (15) of 2010 regarding prohibiting housing gatherings of workers within the families housing areas.
During the campaign, if any violation is detected, a label will be put on the house indicating the date inspection, the inspector number and the capacity of each housing unit.
The tenants and companies will be asked to adjust their conditions within a week from the date of the inspection and evacuate the excess number of workers.
The MADLSA has inspected 93 housing units and detected 458 violations by companies, most of which are small companies, whose activities are concentrated in cleaning, limousine, restaurants and contracting.
The ministry stressed on the need to adhere to the requirements of appropriate housing specifications for workers.
In case of failure to comply with the conditions within a week from the date of notice, strict action will be taken against the violators.
