MUSCAT : “Expatriate workers in residential quarters are a threat to the social and cultural structure,” states a notice issued by Muscat Governorate to create awareness.

The notice lists the following problems that could arise from labour accommodations in residential neighbourhoods:

• Possibility of behavioral and ethical problems that may lead to crimes
• Violation of inherent societal privacy
• The low level of health and environmental status of the region because of faulty practices
• Distortion of the urban and aesthetic appearance of the place
• Encroachments that may harm the country’s economic situation
• Threat to family safety in the residential quarter
• Bad health habits such as smoking and tobacco use, which may have a negative impact on young people.
