DOHA: The Ministry of Interior has launched a 24-hour hotline as part of its ongoing campaign to comb out runaway workers and those who might be staying in the country illegally. People who have information on suspect workers, including their hideouts, can call the hotline (44695222) round-the-clock and provide tip-offs in Arabic, English or Urdu-Hindi. The Ministry said it was determined to carry on with the drive until all illegal workers were caught. “Inspections will continue until the problem of illegal workers is eradicated,” the Ministry said in a release yesterday. The Search and Follow-Up Department (SFD) will continue raiding places where there is a possibility of illegal workers being employed or doing odd jobs.
