ALBAWABA- Sharjah Police have reassured residents that unusual fuel-like odors reported across Sharjah and neighboring emirates pose no known threat to public health or safety, as authorities investigate the source.
Sharjah Police Commander-in-Chief Lt. Gen. Abdullah Mubarak bin Amer said on Tuesday that officials were monitoring public complaints and coordinating with relevant authorities to assess the situation.
Speaking on Sharjah Radio and Television’s Direct Line programme, bin Amer said the situation remained under control and that a comprehensive report was being prepared by federal authorities because the odors had been reported across several emirates.
