New Regulatory Warning on Fireworks and Vehicle Exhausts: How Compliance Affects Business Operations in Oman
Public Prosecution Issues Warning Over Unsafe Firecracker Use and Vehicle Modifications
The Public Prosecution (PP) has issued a warning regarding the use of firecrackers and fireworks, particularly in residential areas. Such activities are not only disruptive but also illegal.
In addition to this, authorities have noted instances of individuals installing non-compliant exhaust systems on their vehicles, which are then driven on public roads. These modifications result in loud noises that disturb the peace and violate Article 25 of the Weapons and Ammunition Law, as well as Article 49, Clauses 5 and 7 of the Traffic Law.
In light of these violations, the Public Prosecution has emphasized its commitment to taking rigorous legal action against offenders, seeking the most severe penalties stipulated by law.
The Royal Oman Police (ROP) has also cautioned that the use of firecrackers and fireworks poses significant risks to life and property, and constitutes a punishable offense. Furthermore, the discharge of firearms during social and religious events is deemed a violation of Law No. 90/36 on Weapons and Ammunition, due to the serious dangers such actions present to public safety.
