Please save water and energy. Switch off lights when they are not needed, and ensure all taps are closed properly. Check for any leaks and report or fix them promptly. Make sure extension wires and electrical devices are turned off when not in use. Let us work together responsibly for a better and safer environment.

State support for power consumers spotlighted
With a significant number of expatriates leaving Bahrain, the financial impact on the government could be more substantial than many realise.
Expat residents typically pay full EWA (electricity and water) rates without subsidies, contributing a considerable portion of revenue toward operational costs. As that population decreases, that revenue gap doesn’t just disappear. It will likely need to be offset – either through increased burden on Bahraini citizens or by the kingdom absorbing the additional costs, which could potentially impact funding for future projects aimed at improving quality of life for everyone.
It’s something worth considering as the situation continues to evolve.

Community mourns cyclists’ death
Extremely sad. Roads are for everyone. We should be able to cycle, and even cross the street without the threat of being hit by cars! Long distance riders need more space to ride than a bike path. We need laws to protect people from cars! They are often intentionally aggressive. Whoever did this, should come forward.

There is a beautiful well-built, large safe cycling area that was commissioned for cyclists in Zallaq. It was advertised on its opening and everyone knew about it.
Yet, every day we see cyclists on main roads and busy built-up areas not suitable for cycling. A sad situation for the families. May they rest in peace.
But please, for cyclists’ safety, use the designated roads.
