Cairo
Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber and Qalyubia Governor Ayman Attia led a large-scale
campaign in the area between Cairo and Qalyubia, specifically in the El-Marg
district, to remove encroachments and conduct a comprehensive study to organize
informal microbus stops. This effort was carried out in cooperation with the
Cairo Security Directorate and in coordination with the Public Utilities Police
as part of the two governorates' plan to restore order, ease traffic flow, and
improve services provided to citizens.
The two governors
were accompanied by Deputy Cairo Governor Mona El-Batrawi, Deputy Qalyubia
Governor Dr. Eman Rayan, Chief of the Marg District Manal El-Soutohi, and
several officials from the Cairo Security Directorate, the Public Utilities
Police, and both governorates.
Saber and Attia
stated that the Marg district and the border area with Qalyubia are
experiencing heavy traffic congestion due to their role as vital connecting
points between the two governorates. This situation necessitates continuous
field inspections and joint cooperation to eliminate any unauthorized elements
that obstruct citizens' movement or detract from the area's orderly appearance.
They emphasized that the campaigns aim to restore pedestrians' right to safe
passage and to enforce the rule of law.
Moreover, Governor
Saber clarified that the campaign to remove encroachments aims to eliminate
illegal occupancies on sidewalks and roadways. He emphasized the implementation
of consistent periodic inspection campaigns. The campaign involved removing these
encroachments and eliminating unauthorized electrical connections that posed a
danger to citizens. Additionally, reports were filed, and the necessary legal
actions were taken against the violators.
During the tour,
Saber and Attia conducted a walking tour of the area connecting the two
governorates ahead of conducting a detailed field study. This study aims to
upgrade the area through organizing unauthorized microbus stops and regulating
traffic routes by coordination between the relevant authorities of both
governorates. This effort seeks to ease traffic flow throughout the area, which
is currently undergoing major development projects to increase efficiency and
improve the quality of life for its residents.
Furthermore, Saber
and Attia directed district chiefs to conduct regular field inspections to
monitor conditions firsthand, prevent the recurrence of encroachments, and take
decisive, immediate action against any violations.
