A renewed push for tougher enforcement of safety standards governing Ramadan tents has been launched by senior legislators and municipal leaders, amid growing concerns that violations could lead to fires and endanger public safety.
Ramadan tents have become increasingly popular across Bahrain’s residential neighbourhoods, commercial areas and hotels, serving as makeshift majlises and venues for feasting and games such as cards, carrom and dominoes.
However, officials warn that the festive tradition must not come at the expense of public safety.
