Promotions. Sub-Inspector Abdul Karim bin Haji Sulman was promoted to the rank of
Police Inspector. Head
Havildar
Custodian; police sergeant; jail or prison guard.
Mahmood Ismail was promoted to Sub-Inspector and there were
various promotions among the lower grades.
Law and order. There was a serious increase in traffic accidents. During the year there
were 59 accident cases in which 16 people lost their lives, 9 persons received serious injuries and 37
people suffered slight injuries. In 11 cases the drivers who were responsible could not be traced.
Most, but not all of these accidents, were due to the negligence or dangerous driving of the drivers.
The heavy traffic on the roads has greatly increased, to the detriment of the roads and to the danger
of the public. The increase is not in private cars but in heavy military vehicles and trucks, which
are often over loaded, carrying workmen from the towns and distant villages over rough roads to
their work at the oil fields. Almost all the drivers are local men, though some wear uniforms, and
many of them have little experience in driving heavy vehicles. An indication of the increase in
traffic is the fact that about 7,000 vehicles cross the Shaikh Hamad Bridge every week.
