Governor Hazem Al-Ashmouni emphasized the importance of these efforts, which are being conducted in the local unit of Al-Munir, within the Mashtool El Souk center.
The initiative seeks to bring governmental services directly to villagers, simplifying access and reducing the need for residents to travel to various administrative offices. This week's activities have spanned several vital sectors, including road maintenance, waste removal, and clearing obstructions from local streets to improve traffic flow.
Public lighting has also been a focus, with maintenance and upgrades performed on 15 lighting poles along Al-Munir's main road, enhancing visibility and safety. Furthermore, progress has been made in infrastructure development, with the handover of sewage lines in Al-Nafouri, aimed at boosting the sewage service level for residents.
Governor Al-Ashmouni reiterated that the initiative reflects the executive authorities' commitment to reaching all villages weekly, fostering direct communication with citizens, and responding promptly to their needs. He stressed the importance of continuing and expanding these activities to include other local units across the governorate.
The initiative is a continuation of the executive bodies' keenness to deliver services to citizens in various villages weekly, enhance direct communication with them, and work to respond quickly to their demands and improve the level of services provided to them and alleviate the burdens on them.
