The Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning is stepping up efforts to clean up streets following the sand storm which lashed Bahrain over the past two days.
The municipalities have removed sixty truckloads of dust and sand from streets and other public places since the clean-up campaign was launched – 16 in the Capital Municipality, 14 in Muharraq, 15 in the Southern Municipality and 15 in the Northern Municipality.
The municipal authorities have also removed 12 uprooted trees and 56 damaged street billboards, said Undersecretary Shaikh Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
