Makkalès crisis deepens with investigation
The article reveals that the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation has launched a wide campaign before the rainy season to clean and clear the rainwater drainage networks. This is in response to expectations of heavy rainfall. Over the past few weeks, the ministry's teams have been removing dirt and debris from sensitive sites and monitoring known water pooling points in order to enhance the readiness of the drainage systems and implement preventive measures. When the rains fell today, the ministry activated its teams, who quickly intervened to remove obstacles and clean the filters, especially in the Al-Maklas area, where dirt and gravel had accumulated due to water flow from the Mansouriya side. This caused some drainage networks to malfunction and water to accumulate on roads and intersections. The ministry confirmed that some of the water pooling was due to negligence by a contractor in the Mansouriya area, which is under the responsibility of another authority. It threatened to take strict measures against any negligence or oversight by contractors. Additionally, the ministry assured that their teams will continue field monitoring throughout the weather period to ensure swift response and the safety of citizens.
