Sharjah clears debts worth Dh73 million in 143 cases to ease burden on citizens

In a significant move to support its citizens, the Sharjah Debt Settlement Committee has cleared debts amounting to Dh73 million across 143 cases. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah and Member of the Federal Supreme Council, aims to alleviate financial hardships faced by individuals, including those convicted in financial cases and insolvent deceased persons. Since its establishment in 2014, the committee has processed a total of Dh1.35 billion, benefiting 2,791 citizens. The latest batch of debt settlements, approved as part of the committee’s 29th directive, underscores Sharjah’s ongoing commitment to community welfare and financial relief. This program is specifically designed to assist UAE nationals experiencing genuine financial difficulties, reflecting the emirate’s dedication to social balance and family well-being. Earlier this year, Sharjah Police also released 13 inmates, further demonstrating the emirate’s efforts to strengthen family bonds and promote social harmony.
