Sharjah Police has announced that all fines for traffic violations committed by motorists during the recent heavy rains will be waived, Khaleej Times reported.
The United Arab Emirates witnessed its heaviest rainfall in 75 years last week, due to the extension of a “low surface pressure” event and two waves of unstable weather.
Many motorists across the Emirates faced vehicle damage after heavy rains, leading to water-logged roads and flooding.
These events have been followed by the issuance of free vehicle damage certificates by police for those affected by the unstable weather in Sharjah on Sunday.
Extreme weather conditions in the UAE have continued, forcing hundreds of residents to abandon their vehicles on the roadside while roads are submerged under the rising floodwaters.
Residents of the emirate had no choice but to wade through the murky water to safety.
They also faced the daunting challenge of repairing their vehicles after many cars were stuck in water, leading to technical issues, damages and lost car plates.
