The Ministry of Works has begun distributing financial compensation to residents affected by the heavy rains that fell in April. Several citizens confirmed that they received compensation payments deposited into their bank accounts earlier today.
MP Hanan Fardan lauded the efforts of both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture in processing the compensation payments.
“On behalf of the residents of Al Lawzi and all those affected by the rain, I extend our deepest gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for his directives to the concerned ministries to ensure compensation for all those affected by the heavy rainfall,” stated MP Fardan.
She emphasised that her office had been closely monitoring the situation and had been in constant communication with the Minister of Works, Eng. Ibrahim bin Hassan Al Hawaj, particularly given that a significant portion of the affected population are low-income individuals who urgently require compensation to repair their homes damaged by the rainfall.
Criteria
Fardan explained that the Ministry of Works’ damage assessment committee employed several criteria for compensation, including ensuring that the damage was directly caused by the accumulated rainwater.
