Support pours in for ‘green Isa Town plan’

Support poured in from various quarters for a potential candidate to municipal council elections, who was mocked on social media for his call to implement a green drive in Isa Town. Mohammed Al Hiddi, the candidate from Isa Town, was mocked by many after he unveiled his agenda supporting an active green drive in and across Isa Town.

Nabeel Al Hamer, Media Adviser to His Majesty the King, said everyone should contribute towards making the Kingdom greener. “Bahrain was once full of trees. In the past there was not even a single house here without date trees or plants in its compound. Community partnership is important in taking the green drive forward,” Mr Al Hamer said.

“I was closely following the cruel comments on social media after the candidate promised to make Isa Town a green city. To me the electoral programme, is all about encouraging new ideas, hopes and ambitions. “Why can’t Bahrain have green cities? What are the obstacles? Positive ideas should be welcomed. Then only they could be transformed into beautiful realities,” Mr Al Hamer pointed out.

He also paid tribute to the efforts of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ebrahim Al Khalifa, wife of His Majesty the King, to support green drives across the Kingdom.
