The Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has issued new regulations prohibiting the storage, accumulation, or placement of materials or objects on rooftops and balconies in ways that compromise the visual appeal of buildings or pose risks to public health.

The move reflects the emirate's commitment to ensuring a clean, safe, and sustainable urban environment, as well as upholding the city's image.
