Preparations have been stepped up ahead of the rainy season, with a special focus on addressing long-standing flooding problems in the Muharraq Governorate, according to officials.
An extraordinary meeting between Muharraq Municipal Council members and senior Works Ministry officials reviewed the progress in resolving water drainage issues across key areas prone to water accumulation.
It was revealed that 13 of the 50 regular flooding locations in Muharraq have now been completely cleared, three are in the tendering stage and nine are under “active construction”.
Acting council chairman Saleh Buhazaa said the ministry had made “remarkable strides” in addressing flooding challenges, particularly in newly-developed housing areas such as Galali and East Hidd.
“These areas demonstrate the right approach to infrastructure planning and should be the model we follow moving forward,” said Mr Buhazaa.
