The Southern Municipality in Bahrain has recently launched a campaign to remove illegal encroachments on public roads in the Nuwaidrat area, specifically in Block 646. This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), and other relevant authorities. The campaign has already addressed approximately 36 violations, including the removal of heavy machinery, structures, equipment, and miscellaneous materials from the area. The municipality is also focusing on educating workshops and shops in violation about the importance of adhering to municipal laws and regulations.
The Nuwaidrat area is home to around 90 properties classified as workshops and maintenance services, making it a crucial service area. The campaign is in line with the Public Roads Occupation Law No. 2 of 1996, which prohibits leaving movable objects outside shops, factories, warehouses, or houses unless necessary for loading or unloading, as long as traffic is not obstructed. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining clear and safe public roads for the community.
This campaign is a part of the Southern Municipality’s continuous monitoring and inspection efforts to control violations and encroachments on regulations and systems. Violators are being notified of the need to rectify their situation according to the law. If they fail to comply, legal measures will be taken to enforce compliance. The municipality had previously warned owners of violating shops and workshops about occupying public roads and the importance of displaying goods within the boundaries of the shop only to avoid obstructing visibility and hindering pedestrian and vehicle movement.
It is crucial for businesses and individuals to abide by municipal laws and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. Encroachments on public roads can not only cause inconvenience to pedestrians and motorists but also lead to accidents and traffic congestion. The Southern Municipality’s campaign is aimed at creating a cleaner and safer environment for residents and visitors in the Nuwaidrat area. By enforcing strict regulations and taking legal action against violators, the municipality is sending a clear message that illegal encroachments will not be tolerated.
In addition to removing encroachments, the campaign also serves as a reminder to the public about the importance of maintaining cleanliness and order in public spaces. By raising awareness about the impact of illegal encroachments on the community, the Southern Municipality hopes to encourage responsible behavior among residents and businesses. Compliance with municipal laws not only enhances the overall appearance of the area but also contributes to a more harmonious and organized urban environment.
Overall, the campaign to remove illegal encroachments on public roads in the Nuwaidrat area is a step towards promoting law and order in Bahrain. By working in collaboration with various government authorities, the Southern Municipality is taking proactive measures to ensure that public spaces are used appropriately and that municipal regulations are followed. Through education, enforcement, and monitoring, the municipality is striving to create a more sustainable and safer environment for all residents and visitors in the area.
