Ayed Al-Qahtani, head of the Violations Removal Department in the Hawalli Municipality Branch, said “all existing car sheds are against the law, and that licenses had been suspended since 2014, and there will be no renewal of licenses in future.<\/p>\n
Al-Qahtani told Al-Rai the department, over a period of months, carried out extensive field tours to monitor car sheds built on state property and the team was able to significantly reduce the number of violating sheds in the Hawally governorate areas by issuing warnings, compiling a report of the violation, and then dismantling it. He explained the department is combing all areas in the governorate according to specific stages (place and time), and now \u201cwe are working on a daily basis in the Salmiya area.\u201d<\/p>\n
He pointed out “some people violate the law and endanger their lives, specifically those who build sheds along the fences of power transformers, in addition to infringing on government property that obstructs the work of the employees of the Ministry of Electricity and Water in the event of an emergency, noting that “it is assumed in general the cars must be parked away from power transformers by at least 4 meters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al-Qahtani added that \u201cAmong the widespread violations in the governorate, some shop owners and others dared to put chains or iron barriers to prevent cars from parking in front of their stores, on the pretext that the area belongs to them, and this is an incorrect concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
