Sharjah sets up check points to monitor workers' transportation

Surveillance measures are being stepped up in Sharjah to prevent companies from transporting workers to neighbouring emirates.

Checkpoints have been set up on Ittihad road in both directions between Sharjah and Dubai, as well as between Sharjah and Ajman.

Police are also using choppers to monitor highways and internal roads.
