The long-awaited Isa Town Local Market, known as Al Maqasees, has entered its final stages of construction, with Northern Municipal Council member Dr Salman Mohsen Abdulla predicting it will open within the coming months.
Speaking from the project site, Dr Abdulla, who represents the fourth northern constituency, thanked the press for its continued coverage of the market's progress. He said the reporting had helped highlight the project's importance and reflect residents' eagerness to see it completed.
"After years of waiting, the project has become a tangible reality, and only a short time remains before it opens," he said, adding that residents regularly ask him about the opening date given the market's importance to traders and the local community.
He said the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture continues to follow up on the project closely alongside the Northern Municipality, which is overseeing construction through completion to ensure the market meets required specifications.
The market will include 90 stalls for traders, Dr Abdulla said. Construction has reached an advanced stage, with most of the stalls already finished and only a limited number left to complete before the project is fully handed over.
He thanked Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Eng Wael bin Nasser Al Mubarak and Undersecretary for Municipal Affairs Eng Shaikh Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Khalifa for their direct involvement in keeping the project on schedule.
