Closure
He added that the closure of the open areas is a temporary measure until work is done to beautify the landscape or create multi-story car parks, since these places have become a haven for ‘abandoned cars’ or for random and private use by owners of garages, factories, and other nearby shops. He added the encroachments and abuses on state property must stop, as public property is a red line, and its exploitation must be in accordance with the laws, reiterating that “our campaigns against infringements on capital property in all regions of the capital are our goal, and we will not stop until an end is put to all the abuses because they constitute a major obstacle in the face of the expected reform and beautification.” Sheikh Talal reiterated all heavy equipment and trucks must be parked outside residential areas, and the responsible authorities must find solutions to this dilemma, especially since the allocation of a location for these trucks and their services outside residential areas was decided upon years ago.”
