New system to track illegals at airport

The Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) has installed a new system at the Dubai International Airport (DIA) to record and store data of people who have been deported for various reasons.

The system will help the immigration authorities to prevent the re-entry of such people.

The move is part of the best global technological practices and standards in the field of passport control to manage the entry procedures effectively.

This system enhances the safety and the security of the UAE as it facilitates the process of identifying people whose entry into the UAE has been banned.

Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Department and Chairman of Emirates, has hailed the efforts of the DNRD employees in protecting the country from illegals and contributing to the safety and security of the UAE.

Shaikh Ahmed attended a ceremony organised by DNRD at Al Bustan Rotana Hotel yesterday to honour the 125 DNRD passport control officers at the Dubai International Airport who seized 619 counterfeit passports and uncovered impostors during the second half of 2007.

The ceremony was attended by DNRD Director Major-General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, DNRD Deputy Director Brigadier-General Obeid Mehayer bin Suroor, DNRD Director of Airports and Land Border Points Colonel Salah bin Suloom and other senior officials. Source
