The Internal Security Forces called on Saturday citizens against resorting to the use of fireworks during various celebrations.
It said in a statement: “The use of fireworks for national, religious, and social occasions, such as weddings, sports events, and the announcement of exam results, raises fear among the people.”
“It also causes bodily harm, including permanent disabilities, and could even reach innocent bystanders,” it added.
It said that the material damage from fireworks could extend to public property and cause disputes among residents of the same neighborhood.
“The ISF urges the people to refrain from the use of fireworks for their safety and that of the public and instead turn to peaceful means that reflect our civility,” it stressed.
