The discount comes as part of the police's efforts to boost happiness across the emirate's communities in the run-up to the National Day celebrations, the officer added.

Umm Al Quwain is the second emirate to have announced a discount on traffic fines this month. Earlier, the Ajman Police said a 50 per cent discount is applicable on penalties from November 21, 2022, till January 6, 2023.
