Isa Town marks golden jubilee

Under the patronage of Southern Governor, Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali Al Khalifa, the Southern Governorate yesterday held a celebration marking the golden jubilee of the Isa Town. The event was held at the hall of the Isa Town Sports Club, in the presence of officials and local citizens.

In a statement, the Governor said that thanks to the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, as well as the support of His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier.

The Southern Governorate is witnessing an unprecedented progress boom in various development fields, the Governor said. He asserted that the November 13 is a special national occasion as it marked the date of the opening of the first housing project at the GCC level and in Bahrain, which is “Isa Town”, a town that is known for its dedication and effective contribution to the kingdom’s progress march.

He expressed pride in the existence of a town that carries the name of the late Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the then Amir of Bahrain, who, he said, followed up closely on the urban project, and gave directives to officials to harness all potentials to build an integrated model town.

The governor extended sincere thanks and appreciation to the Interior Minister, Lieutenant-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, for his interest and directives to strengthen the pillars of security and stability across the Southern Governorate.
