Manual carwash to be banned in Capital

Manama : Manual car-washers will be banned from tourism and commercial areas in the Capital, it was announced yesterday.

This came during the meeting of the Capital Governorate’s Coordinating Council, which recommended to ban such activities in tourist locations and to reduce issuing permits for it in the future.

In the meeting that was headed by Capital Governorate Governor Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa was attended by representatives of security and services authorities.

The officials said manual handwashing has a negative effect on visitors of vital commercial and tourism areas in the Capital. 

They also discussed a number of topics including the stray dogs issue in the governorate. They said the issue has noticeably increased recently in different parts of the Capital Governorate, posing disturbance and threats to citizens and residents, who repeatedly complained about the problem.

The council recommended to conduct a comprehensive study on the issue and coordinate with the Works,
Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Ministry and Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) to solve this matter.
