The authorities in Sharjah have impounded 3,911 dirty vehicles in the first half of 2021.
The vehicle owners have been asked to clean their cars to prevent confiscation.
The Sharjah City Municipality (SCM) has urged on residents not to abandon their vehicles in sandy parking lots, commonly referred to as “kacha” parking.
The SCM said that abandoned vehicles are “eyesores and distort the civilized appearance of the city, as they get dirty.”
The inspectors also seized vehicles without licence plates.
Head of the city’s cleanliness control department at SCM, Mohammed Al Kaabi, said the municipality regularly conducts awareness programs to discourage the public from abandoning their vehicles and leaving them in dirt yards and streets.
