Dubai: New App To Help Officials Report Public Cleanliness Violations

Select government officials will now be able to document public cleanliness violations on a newly launched app. Titled Eltizam, the platform was designed by Dubai Municipality to maintain the position of the emirate as one of the cleanest cities in the world.
