An emergency taskforce deployed to clean the capital in the aftermath of a dust storm last week removed 25 per cent more sand and debris compared to previous years, reports Raji Unnikrishnan.
The Capital Municipality team cleared 40 loads of dust and sand, 20 loads of agricultural debris and nine loads of advertisements and billboards from across Manama after the dust storm blew across the kingdom, from June 17 to 20.
A truck can load a maximum of six cubic metres of sand, gravel, soil, trashes, etc.
