66 nurseries ordered to be set up in Sharjah

Sixty-six  nurseries are come up in the emirate of Sharjah to take care of children and spare them negligence, under new directives from Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council member and Ruler of Sharjah.

Moved by a case broadcast by Dubai TV about an infant who was tortured by a housemaid, Sheikh Sultan gave the instruction for building the nurseries through a call to the  'Direct Line' programme broadcast by Sharjah TV and Radio.

He also appealed to parents to take proper care of their children.

''Leaving housemaids to attend to children and not giving them proper care is a major issue in our community and people should lend attention to it,'' the Ruler said.
