Yesterday morning, the Kuwait Municipal bulldozers tore down the agricultural products market situated adjacent to the Abdali Cooperative Society.<\/p>\n
An official from the municipality, speaking to Al-Rai, said the market stalls were situated on state-owned land and were operating without an official license. Additionally, it was noted that many of the workers were unemployed, and some were in violation of residency regulations.<\/p>\n
The source further explained that a significant portion of the goods sold in the market were imported. A stern warning was issued, cautioning against any attempts to revive the market, with the threat of legal consequences.<\/p>\n
Contrary to this, Ahmed Al-Arada, the supervisor of the market, informed Al-Rai that the market had been under the Abdali Farmers Association’s supervision for seven years. <\/p>\n
Its purpose was to showcase Kuwaiti farm products at competitive prices, with approval from the The Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fisheries Resources (PAAAFR). Al-Arada emphasized that the municipal bulldozers removed the stalls abruptly, without any prior notice.<\/p>\n
He refuted claims that the market’s proximity to a mosque or its establishment on the air ambulance landing strip led to its removal. <\/p>\n
He stressed that the market had been in its current location for seven years, far from the mentioned areas. He clarified that the construction near them pertained to a hall affiliated with the Kuwaiti Farmers Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
