KUWAIT CITY, March 17: Kuwait Municipality announced the camping season officially ended on Friday and will not be extended until the end of Ramadan. It affirmed that from Sunday, it will start removing the spring camps that have not yet been removed.

According to an informed source, the total number of camps licensed by the municipality for this year amounted to 1,300. The current camping season witnessed an increase in the number of licenses by 31 percent compared to the last season, which reached 900 in total. A comprehensive report will be submitted to the municipality’s executive branch on the most prominent negatives in the current season, including the phenomenon of fireworks, renting campgrounds, and bulldozing the soil.

Meanwhile, the municipality confirmed that its monitoring teams will begin the work of removing camps that are not committed to removal from Sunday. It explained that the camping period will not be extended after the Camps Committee received an official letter from the Environment Public Authority (EPA) regarding its rejection of the extension. Affirming that camps will not be allowed after Friday, the authority called on camp owners to ensure the campsite is cleaned after removal to obtain a cleanliness certificate from EPA as a basic condition for recovering the deposit amount of KD 100. It will be deposited in the account of the license holder after submitting a request for its refund to the municipality.
