‘Feed and Reap Ramadan’ initiative: Cops to Hand Out Iftar Meal Boxes to Motorists
The “Feed and Reap Ramadan” initiative, which was launched on Friday, will be implemented by Abu Dhabi Police and Absher Ya Watan and will cover a few busy roads in Abu Dhabi city and Al Ain in the UAE.
“The initiative aims to provide Iftar meals to drivers who have delayed reaching home to break their fast so they can refrain from speeding as they rush to have iftar with their families,” Lt. Col Sultan Abdullah Bawazeer, from the Protocal and Relations Department at Abu Dhabi Police said during the press conference to announce the launch of the initiative.
“The initiative not only reflects on the spirit of the holy month, but it also helps avoid road accidents by drivers speeding near Iftar time.”
He noted that a total of 90,000 Iftar packets will be given out to motorists throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
The police said that traffic patrols along with volunteers will be distributing the Iftar meals to drivers at six traffic signals in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. The locations in the Capital include Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank signal, Civil Defense road signal, Mushrif Mall signal and Prestige Al Khaliyah signal. In Al Ain, the Iftar meals will be distributed at Al Maqami and Jami Mall signals.
