During the discussion, Al-Asfar mentioned that several areas in the governorate pointed to a significant increase in the number of residents, which according to the official makes the roads crowded, especially during peak working hours. He specifically pointed out the presence of mobile taxi assembling between private residential areas, in addition to the massive propagation of illegal drug activities, which demands for an increase in security alert in the residential areas. He stressed that there will be zero tolerance towards violators of law and those who undermine security protocols.
