The Ministry of Interior of Qatar has called for a ban on the operation of any videos or audio recordings that include sounds of the national alarm system, or setting them as mobile phone ringtones. Playing them in public gatherings or other places is also prohibited, due to the potential to cause panic among the public and disrupt public order. This is part of efforts to enhance public safety and maintain social peace. In a statement posted on its official account on the X platform, the ministry emphasized the importance of exercising responsibility and community awareness, and committing not to misuse the national alarm system's sound. Such behavior is considered a violation that exposes offenders to legal accountability. Citizens are also encouraged to report such incidents by calling the number (999).
