KUWAIT CITY, Feb 17: Brigadier General Muhammad Al-Adwani, Assistant Director of the General Traffic Department for Technical Affairs, has reaffirmed the department’s unwavering commitment to combat all forms of traffic violations, particularly those stemming from unauthorized garages and workshops operating in violation of the law, reports Al-Jarida daily. During a recent security sweep in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, a notorious area for such activities, a joint committee targeted unauthorized garages and expatriates conducting vehicle repairs in makeshift outdoor spaces. Alarming trends of non-compliance with regulations were observed, prompting swift action. Notably, 32 unlicensed workshops were shut down for operating without permission, engaging in unauthorized vehicle alterations and repairs. In a recent statement Al-Adwani underscored the department’s dedication to ensuring the safety of citizens, residents, and road users by eradicating such illegal activities.
