UAE: RAK cement factory closed for one month

The Ministry of Water and Environment has closed a cement factory for one month in Khor Khuweir in Ras Al Khaimah.

The factory violated rules under Cabinet Resolution No 24 of 2011 that regulates activities in the cement industry.

Ghanem Al Shamsi, from the ministry, said the decision came after specialists from the external audit department visited the factory’s facilities.

The visit was part of efforts to evaluate efficiency in implementing federal legislation to enhance environmental sustainability. Auditors reported a number of violations.

Such visits are part of the ministry’s strategy to improve environmental performance and promote environmental sustainability.
