Capital Governorate honours street cleaners

In a rare gesture, the Capital Governorate honoured street cleaners whose hard work and contributions towards keeping the Kingdom clean are rarely appreciated. The event was organised by the Manama Central Market merchants in co-ordination with the Capital Secretariat.

Redha Al Bustani, a trader from the vegetable market said that sanitation workers play an important role in the country and everyone owes a huge debt to them for their continuous and dedicated efforts. “Despite many challenges, they continue to work hard and keep the country clean every day,” he said.

“We are so happy to have given them a day to remember. Their efforts are certainly one that we appreciate greatly. “We are thankful to all for the amazing work they put in. We look forward to more events in the future,” another trader said.

Last month, a cleaner who returned wallet of a Bahraini after he found it on the street was honoured by Southern Municipal Council officials. A grand ceremony was held to honour the individual.
