Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, directed, with the follow-up of Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, Chairman of the Executive Council, to solve the problem of abandoned houses in the city of Sharjah.

For its part, the Sharjah Municipality formed a committee two months ago, and a team to count the homes, in order to approve appropriate solutions to all related problems.

In July this year Sheikh Sultan has affirmed that development work is continuing in all cities of Sharjah, adding that development projects follow careful and extensive study for these projects to match the nature of each city.

He explained that 2022 is the year of Kalba and next will come Al Dhaid.

In a phone interview on the Direct Line programme broadcast live on Sharjah Radio and TV, Sheikh Sultan had said: “All the development projects that we see in the cities of Sharjah did not come on a spur of the moment or by chance but after lengthy planning and discussion. Based on this, the best and most appropriate project is chosen as per the nature of each area and its inhabitants.”

“The coming period will witness the opening of many new projects every 6 or 8 months. All  government buildings in Kalba will be developed in the area starting from the co-operative society building to the flag. Hence, the university building will be expanded, and so will all other buildings.

These development projects aim to take people to a higher level away from all the problems existing in the society, he said, calling on the youth to be kind to their families which raised and taught them, adhere to their religion and keep their minds working as this will benefit them and their society as a whole.
