The Department of Hygiene in the Farwaniya Governorate municipality, in cooperation with the security authorities, raided several makeshift markets in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh and Hassawi and arrested a number of street vendors.
The raids which lasted many hours led to the entire area being vacated of buyers, sellers and their ware. The sellers were taken into custody for building makeshift shops on government property and in violation of laws.
The municipality also issued more than 25 citations for lack of cleanliness and confiscated tons of vegetables and fruits and waste.
A municipality official speaking about the raids said that the hygiene department had to seek the support of the Ministry of Interior to control these markets and arrest violators of residence and labor laws. He added that the municipality seeks to involve other government bodies, including the Public Authority for Manpower, and the ministries of Social Affairs and Commerce, to realize the plan ‘Clean Jleeb’ especially since the municipality does not grant any license to sell on the roads or on the pavements.
