MPW receives 610 complaints about road repairs in 10 days

KUWAIT CITY, Feb 13: Despite field campaigns by the Municipality teams and the ministerial committee to follow up on the implementation of health requirements, camps continue to spring up in several areas which most often than not are full of people, frequented by many families and equipped with games and the lime, reports Al-Seyassah daily.

The Al-Seyassah daily spotted the camps as far as eye can reach but seem to have avoided the watchful eye of the Kuwait Municipality. Many observers say they are surprised the Municipality has failed to detect the activity, while the Municipality teams rush to close a store here and a store there or even venture out in remote areas to lift neglected cars and called on the Municipality to implement decisions with a single rule and not allow the virus to spread in other areas.

Observers emphasized keeping the camps standing will lead to people gathering, especially since the camps have become the only outlet in light of the lack of travel. They also noted that there are many youth and family camps on the sides off the mainland.

Complaints
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Works announced that the ministry’s Maintenance Engineering Sector has received 610 complaints and reports regarding road and network repairs in various governorates within 10 days since the beginning of February through the Works Emergency Switch and on its WhatsApp number.

In a press release, the ministry indicated 461 complaints were answered during the same period, while work is underway on 149 other complaints, confirming its full commitment for immediate response to all complaints of citizens and residents around the clock through direct phone calls via the Hotline 150 or through the ‘WhatsApp’ for work emergencies ‘93333150’. The source stated once complaints or reports that fall within the jurisdiction of the ministry are received, files are opened in the electronic automated system for follow-up and transferred immediately to emergency teams, which in turn deal with these complaints within the concerned ministry sectors in all regions of the governorates until they are completed.
