Wildlife smuggling attempt: Snakes on a plane bound for India, again
Indian customs officers in Mumbai said they have stopped a plane passenger arriving from Thailand with a wriggling cargo of live snakes, the third such seizure this month. "Customs officers... foiled yet another wildlife smuggling attempt, 16 live snakes... seized from passenger returning from Thailand," said customs officers in the airport in the Indian financial hub. The passenger, who arrived on Sunday, has been arrested, the customs agency said in a statement, with "further investigation underway". The live snakes included reptiles often sold in the pet trade, and were largely non-venomous, or with venom too weak to affect people. They included garter snakes, a rhino rat snake and a Kenyan sand boa, among others. In early June, customs officers stopped a passenger smuggling dozens of venomous vipers, also arriving from Thailand. Days later, officers stopped another traveller carrying 100 creatures including lizards, sunbirds and tree-climbing possums. Wildlife trade monitor TRAFFIC, which battles the smuggling of wild animals and plants, has warned of a "very troubling" trend in trafficking driven by the exotic pet trade. More than 7,000 animals, dead and alive, have been seized along the Thailand-India air route in the last 3.5 years, it said.

UAE cracks down on firms for falsely employing workers; Dh34 million fines imposed
The UAE has imposed over Dh34 million in fines on owners of companies that violated certain labour laws since the start of 2025, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) announced on Monday, July 30. These violations include not engaging in licensed activities and for having one or more registered workers without an actual employment relationship. The ministry has detected around 1,300 establishments, owned by approximately 1,800 employers, that were not effectively practicing their licensed activities, despite having registered workers without a real employment relationship. The authority took strict measures against these establishments, including suspending the issuance of new work permits, imposing more than Dh34 million in fines on their owners, and placing them in the third category in the classification scheme for private sector establishments. Action was also taken against the owners in order to prevent them from registering any new establishments in the authority's systems. Employers whose establishments cease operations for any reason have been urged to cancel their licenses and settle the status of their workers in accordance with UAE's legal procedures. The authority's monitoring system takes into account factors like authorised business activity, number of sponsored workers, transaction movements with the ministry, and other criteria verified through field inspections. The public has been urged to report any unlawful practices through the ministry's call centre on 60059000, or its smart application and official website.
