A total of 766 cleanliness violations have been recorded between January 2024 and January 2025.

This was revealed by Eng. Lamya Al Fadhala, Director General of the Northern Governorate Municipality.

Pressing concerns

The update was shared during the Northern Governorate Municipal Council’s regular meeting held yesterday, which focused on addressing pressing concerns regarding public cleanliness and the enforcement of related regulations that are crucial for maintaining a healthy environment.

Eng. Al Fadhala stated that, in addition to the cleanliness violations, over 900 building violations were noted during the same period, generating fines exceeding BD100,000.

Many of these violations were resolved amicably through settlements, highlighting the municipality’s commitment to fostering cooperation between residents and local authorities.

Garbage collection

Al Fadhala also addressed persistent concerns regarding garbage collection, stressing the importance of adhering to designated collection times, specifically between 8pm and 10pm.

To further enhance waste management efforts, she introduced a new initiative aimed at utilising organic waste for fertiliser production, which not only addresses waste disposal but also promotes sustainability.

Additionally, Al Fadhala underscored the importance of promoting recycling initiatives and raising public awareness about cleanliness standards within the community.

Temporary postponement
