The civic body conducted detailed study to move workshops from residential areas. The civic body of Ras Al Khaimah has decided to move industrial workshops out of the residential areas, bringing joy to residents of the emirate.
The RAK Municipality had received several complaints that workshops were adding to the pollution with its endless noises and disturbances. According to a top official, the civic body conducted detailed study to move workshops from residential areas. Munzir bin Shukr Al Zaabi, director general of the RAK Municipality, said all the workshops will be moved to Al Salehiya industrial area in multiple phases.
“We are also planning to build up a comprehensive labour city off the residential areas, closer to the industrial area, with fully equipped facilities and services,” he said. He also talked about other infrastructure developments in the emirate. “Construction of three public parks are to take shape soon while four new parks have been finished in Shaam, Shawkah, Al Jazira, Al Hamra, and Al Bariyat,” said Al Zaabi.
“A new building is under construction at Wadi Asfini, to the south of the emirate, specifically for customer service. The new customer service centre will ease residents’ suffering, save their time, money and effort, and make the government services more accessible to them.” The municipality is also set to open a slaughterhouse in the Gheil area, early next year. “We have finished about 60 per cent of the construction works of the new abattoir,” he said.
