A high-stakes operation to relocate nearly 100 sprawling scrapyards from southern Bahrain has entered its final phase, with authorities racing against an extended deadline as the land is cleared for major future oil and gas exploration projects.
Officials confirmed yesterday that scrapyard operators in Al Mazra’a, Askar, have now been granted until July 31 to complete their transfer to a newly-developed industrial site in Hafeera, Block 959, following directives issued by Deputy Premier Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa .
