Fourteen crusher and quarry operators across the emirates have been ordered to cease operations between one and three months for failing to comply with regulations, according to the Ministry of Environment and Water.

The violations were due to management’s non-compliance with the required maintenance of equipments and dust collectors, in addition to the recorded spread of industrial waste, dust and fumes that threatened to damage the environment and put the health of residents at risk.
