To enhance the city's appearance, the officials of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) warned residents against misusing their balconies and defacing buildings, a report of Gulf News said.

In a circular, Sultan Al Mua'alem, director-general of Sharjah Municipality, said, "Residents in buildings have to be reminded that it is not allowed to install satellite dishes in their balconies, and they should also not use it as a storage room or have it closed off with nets." 

The report said the pamphlets distributed in residential buildings were in four different languages: Arabic, English, Farsi and Urdu.

Residents found disobeying the rules must pay Dh250 within a week.

The tenants who will fail to make the payment within the stipulated period will face a penalty of Dh500. - VVP, GMA News
