Maintenance work at Souq Al Shaabi in Isa Town restored most of the market's lighting after the issue was raised in local media, though Southern Municipal Council member Mubarak Faraj says seven floodlights near the Ramez Mall complex remain out of service.

Faraj, who represents the second southern constituency, said the market's surveillance cameras remain out of service, with more than a year having passed without repairs. He called for urgent maintenance and reactivation of the system, citing its role in strengthening security and protecting vendors and shoppers.

He said resolving both the remaining lighting faults and the camera outage was essential to ongoing efforts to develop Souq Al Shaabi and maintain a safe, organised environment for traders and customers.

Faraj said his recent election to the council's Central and Popular Markets Committee reflects a continued responsibility to develop markets and improve their services. He added that upgrading market infrastructure will remain a priority in the period ahead.

"Our goal has always

been to transform Souq Al Shaabi into a

more organised and

vibrant marketplace."
