Workers protest against delay in salary payment

More than 100 workers of a manpower supply firm in Al Khor yesterday continued their tool-down strike for the second successive day against the delay in the disbursement of their salaries and refusal of their employers to provide better living and work conditions. |
The company, it is learnt, has more than 200 workers and most of them have been deployed at construction sites in and around Al Khor.
When contacted, some of the workers said they have not been paid for more than two months and hence could not buy even foodstuffs.
One of the workers said when they protested on the first day a few of them were taken into custody by the police following a complaint by the company officials.
The agitating workers have sought the intervention of the Indian and Nepalese embassies to settle the issue.
Outlets selling cosmetic products closed for misrepresentation

The Consumer Protection Department, represented by the commercial fraud combat section, has closed several outlets and a warehouse of Khan Al-Saboun following the detection of fraudulent practices, local Arabic daily Arrayah has reported. |
The matter came to light after inspectors of the section seized samples of cosmetic products sold in the company’s main shop and in outlets at malls to verify their components, the report states.
The samples were sent for testing, which revealed that the contents of the products were not identical to the specifications mentioned for each item. Further, the products were found to be containing components that might cause cancer and skin disease, according to the report.
Accordingly, it was decided to close the main outlet of Khan Al-Saboun, its branches and a warehouse, and seize all products found there, the report adds.
