SAKAKA: The Saudi General Directorate of Border Guards in the Al-Jouf region has organized an awareness exhibition, called “A Nation Without Violators,” at the Cities Mall in Sakaka.

The event, which is being held until Oct. 13, is to help raise awareness about the importance of adhering to border security and residency laws, as well as reporting those violating the rules.

The exhibition is part of the Ministry of the Interior’s media and communication efforts and aims to inform the public about border security regulations and the penalties for those who facilitate the entry of border security law violators into the Kingdom, transport them within the country, provide shelter, or offer any form of assistance.

Separately, land patrols in Al-Raboah, Asir, have foiled an attempt to smuggle 85 kg of qat. Preliminary procedures have been completed and the seized narcotics handed to the authorities.

In addition, authorities in Al-Daer, Jazan, have arrested three Ethiopian border security violators for attempting to smuggle 240 kg of qat. Legal procedures have been initiated against them, and the seized items handed over to the authorities.
