Minister of State for Municipal Affairs, Fahd Al-Shula, has issued a ministerial decree, Monday, granting approval to the fresh regulations governing municipal waste management and public cleanliness. These new regulations comprise 33 additional articles.

According to an official statement from the ministry, the updated rules render null and void Ministerial Resolution 190 of 2008 concerning regulations for cleanliness and waste transfer, along with its subsequent amendments, reports Al-Qabas daily.

One of the pivotal elements within the new set of regulations is found in Article 10, subsection (b), which permits beachside barbecues in accordance with stipulated guidelines and designated areas, subject to the issuance of a directive by the Director General of the Municipality.

However, the regulations strictly prohibit barbecuing on sidewalks, streets, roads, plazas, public spaces, state-owned properties, and public parks.

Furthermore, Article 12 of the regulations expressly forbids individuals from leaving neglected or damaged vehicles, marine vessels, mobile prefab chalets, and the like on streets, sidewalks, and open public plazas or squares.
