A statement that was issued by the police stated that the initiative aims at providing Iftar meals to motorists who are not able to reach their homes at the time to break their fast hence they violate the traffic rules and in order to stop them from doing so, this initiative was launched.

The statement further added, “The initiative not only reflects the spirit of the sacred month, but it also helps avoid road accidents caused by speeding.”

The head of the Absher Ya Watan Volunteer Team, Somaya Mubarak Al Kathiri, stressed upon the importance of encouraging solidarity and social cohesion during the holy month of Ramadan and implementing initiatives that benefit the society and also increase the concept of happiness, cooperation as well as maintaining humanitarian values.

She said, “Volunteering is a national duty and society’s moral obligation.”
