No nasty ones, but our company had all doors locked with access cards and cards distributed to staff. I am hoping that we get time to run way when they try to break down the doors

haha oh yes the drive is in full swing. The place where I live is RED ZONE where Jawazat people are coming daily. In fact someone told me that even before this drive, they used to come every week there.
I also heard that they also came to our office but so far I haven't had any encounter.

Yeah, 3 month grace period now and also heard that hospitals and schools are exempted as of now. But in any case people with expired iqama , people working for different sponsor other than theirs and not under that sponsor need to worry after the 3 month period. There are a lot of rumors going around and 90% of its bogus.
