‘Private kitchen on busy street’ demolished

Municipal authorities in the Southern Governorate have demolished a private kitchen allegedly set up by a group of Asians right in the middle of a busy street in Riffa. The move follows efforts by the municipal officials to tackle encroachment of public place and rule violations.

“The cabin was built on Al Beheer Street in Riffa. It was being used as a kitchen by a group of Asian bachelors and this was in violation of rules. The authorities have taken action by demolishing the cabin,” sources said. “According to the law, one must take authorization from the Ministry of Housing, Municipalities and the Supreme Council For Environment to set up a cabin,” the sources added. The Southern Governorate has also been carrying out an intense campaign to crack down on violations related to roadside businesses.

The Inspection and Licensing Inspection Department has recently held numerous inspection efforts. According to reports, the violating businesses used the space in front of their shops to either sell their products or to use it as a workspace thereby encroaching the road.
