The environment is our heir to future generations. It is also a vital resource that contributes to sustaining life on our planet. In this context, we find that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not hesitate to apply its environmental laws firmly, as the Special Forces for Environmental Security have recently arrested a large group of residents whose nationalities range from 19 residents, in addition to a Saudi citizen. And the reason? Exploiting natural deposits without obtaining the necessary permits.
Details of the operation and the nationalities involved
When digging into the details, we find that 14 mechanisms were seized that were used to transport sand and shovel soil. It was worked on by a variety of residents of different nationalities. Among them are 6 Pakistanis, 3 Yemenis, 3 Somalis, and 2 Egyptians. In addition to 2 Sudanese, 2 Syrians, an Indian resident, and of course the Saudi national that was mentioned earlier, this process shows the extent to which illegal activities can reach, and how they can involve individuals of diverse nationalities and backgrounds.
An invitation to cooperate with the authorities
The Kingdom’s Environmental Security Special Forces stress the importance of continuous cooperation by citizens and residents to preserve the environment. It urges prompt reporting of any violations or assaults committed against the environment and wildlife. Therefore, if you witness or hear of any activity that poses a threat to the environment in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Riyadh or the Eastern region, you can call 911. In the rest of the Kingdom’s regions, the available numbers are 999 and 996. .
