The Southern Municipality has demolished an unlicensed building in Block 919, East Riffa, as part of ongoing efforts to remove violations and enforce municipal regulations.

The campaign was carried out under the Municipalities Law No. 35 of 2001, Building Regulation Law No. 13 of 1977 and Public Roads Occupation Law No. 2 of 1996.

The municipality said the campaign aims to remove encroachments, improve compliance, preserve the appearance of residential areas and protect public safety.

Similar enforcement operations are also under way in the Northern Governorate. In Al Ramli, authorities have removed 47 of 61 illegal structures identified along Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Street and Shaikh Zayed Street, with further sites targeted in the next phase.

According to the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, construction without a permit accounts for 68 per cent of building violations.
