The man said police told him lungis cannot be worn in public. He said he had recently been stopped by CID officers who sought to know why he was going out in public wearing a lungi. "I was caught by the police at the petrol station mart. They asked me why I had ventured out wearing a lungi and a T-shirt," he said. He said he was warned not to go out dressed in that manner since there was a law that prohibited the attire. The Sharjah Police maintain that indecent and revealing clothes are not allowed in public. "The decency law was implemented ten years ago," an officer said. He said people were expected to wear decent clothes in public.
