DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 25th Jul, 2021) No incidents were reported across Dubai’s shores and near the Hatta dam and valleys during the Eid Al Adha Holiday, thanks to the unwavering efforts of the Dubai Ports Police Station, who oversaw the security and safety of Dubai beach-goers and tourists.
