Cement safety barriers have been installed along exposed rainwater channels in Hamala’s Block 1010, easing residents’ concerns after a spate of alarming night-time incidents in which vehicles unknowingly drove into open drains.
The swift action followed directives issued by the Ministerial Committee for Development Projects and Infrastructure, chaired by Deputy Premier Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, just a day after safety risks were flagged, including in a GDN report on April 23 .
