KUWAIT, Feb 14 (KUNA) -- The Kuwait Municipality urged the public not to
place unlicensed banners on public roads and utilities, particularly those
celebrating the country's imminent national days.
In statements to KUNA, Kuwait Municipality General Director Eng. Ahmad
Al-Subaih made it clear that unlicensed ads will be removed and legal action
will be taken against violators.
He pointed out that unlicensed billboards which are randomly hoisted at key
places tarnish the image of main roads, major squares and could even cause
traffic jams or accidents.
Eng. Al-Subaih asked citizenry and firms seeking to install ads at any
place to get license from Municipality Council office in the related areas to
avoid ads removal.
Meanwhile, Al-Ahmadi Municipality General Director Eng. Yussef Al-Mullah
unveiled that the Municipality teams has removed 253 unlicensed ads across the
governorate.
Al-Mullah disclosed that that Municipality's teams have recently carried
out a campaign of inspections and busts of spoiled food stashes in warehouses
as well as on the shelves of shopping centers and food outlets in the
governorate.
The campaign resulted in closing six shops and referring scores others to
investigations for not abiding by relative laws and regulations. (end)
