Sharjah Economic Department Ramps Up Inspections For Eid Al Fitr Festivities

The Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) has officially announced its comprehensive plan to ensure the safety and integrity of the emirate's markets during the upcoming Eid Al Fitr celebrations. This initiative involves a series of rigorous inspection campaigns targeting a wide array of economic establishments, including food service providers, retail outlets, and various businesses directly related to the festivities such as greeting card stores and tailoring shops.

Hamad Ali Abdalla Al Mahmoud, the Chairman of SEDD, underscored the significance of these campaigns in protecting consumer interests and maintaining market safety. He affirmed the department's unwavering commitment to enforcing regulations, delivering superior customer service, and ensuring that all products sold meet the established standards. Al Mahmoud specifically pointed out that there will be an intensified focus on major markets and commercial centres, where inspectors will verify that merchants provide clear product lists with prices and adhere to legal compliance. Furthermore, these efforts are designed to boost consumer awareness about the value of products.

In addition to these measures, SEDD is calling on consumers to play an active role in safeguarding market integrity. Salim Ahmed Al Suwaidi, Deputy Director of the Commercial Control and Protection Department, has encouraged the public to report any instances of commercial manipulation or fraud. Consumers can reach out to SEDD through various channels including their call centre at 80080000, the official website (http://sedd.ae/), or via the SEDD smart application.

This initiative by SEDD not only aims at ensuring a safe and fair trading environment during one of the most significant festive seasons in Sharjah but also at fostering a culture of transparency and legal compliance among merchants. By involving consumers directly in these efforts, SEDD is enhancing its approach towards creating a more secure and trustworthy market environment for everyone involved.
