His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has directed Sharjah Department of Town Planning and Survey (SDTPS) to allocate 160 plots of land for the residents of Khorfakkan.

This includes 80 commercial plots along Harai Road and 80 industrial plots, with priority given to holders of commercial and industrial licences.
