Colonel Badr bin Khalfan al Zidjali, Commander of the Coast Guard, honoured a citizen of the Wilayat of Shinas for reporting an infiltration attempt to the ROP via the hot line 9999. Personnel from the Coast Guard later seized the boat and booked the infiltrators. Colonel Al Zidjali praised the citizen for his co-operation with the authorities urging all citizens and residents to report any such suspicious movement to the ROP to help them carry out their duties in serving the nation.
