Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has announced that residents will face penalties for improper satellite dish installations. Installing multiple satellite dishes on balconies or building facades is a violation, as residents are permitted to install them only in approved locations.
"The DMT has implemented regulations regarding the installation of satellite dishes in line with approved regulations. The fine is doubled in case of recurrent violations. This is in accordance with Law No. 2 of 2012, to ensure the organisation and cleanliness of Abu Dhabi’s streets," the authority said in a social media post.
The violation will result in fines of Dh1,000 for the first violation, Dh2,000 for the second, and Dh4,000 for the third and repeated violations. The move is part of maintaining the visual aesthetic of Abu Dhabi’s streets. Abu Dhabi has also warned recently against posting flyers or posters without proper approval.
