Great move!

The MoHRE’s initiative to build 10,000+ air conditioned rest areas for delivery riders is a commendable move (“Over 10,000 rest stations provided for delivery workers across UAE during Midday Break”, Gulf Today, June 10.) Working outside in this scorching heat is risky. The cool rest areas help prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion for delivery workers.

Riders can take break there during the midday work break. These rest areas give delivery workers a safe, cool place to rest. We must appreciate the effort of MoHRE, RTA and others for valuing the health, safety for these workers. Hats off to the MoHRE and it is indeed an example for the entire world.
