51 abandoned vehicles removed

As many as 51 abandoned vehicles were removed from different areas in the Southern Governorate in the past two weeks, Southern Area Municipality announced yesterday. The municipality explained that the removal came as part of a series of campaigns launched against violations of occupying roads and harming the environment.

It added that the campaigns follow the directives of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Minister Essam Khalaf. In a statement released yesterday, the municipality explained that it had notified the owners of the vehicles to remove them within a certain period of time, stating that the vehicles were removed after no response was received from the owners in the said time.

It affirmed that the campaigns against such violations will continue to cover all the areas in the Southern Governorate, as such phenomenon has a negative impact on the flow of traffic and risks residents’ safety.
