Minya launches major campaign to clear encroachments along Nile Corniche and Al-Habashi Market

Security and executive authorities in Minya launched a major field campaign along the Nile Corniche and in the Al-Habashi district to restore order in busy public and commercial areas.

The operation removed obstructions blocking pedestrians and addressed encroachments on sidewalks and public roads. Officials said the measures aimed to improve traffic flow and preserve the appearance of prominent parts of the city. The Nile Corniche, a major public recreation area for Minya residents, received particular attention.

The campaign also dealt with unsafe games on the Corniche because they posed risks to children and did not meet safety standards. Authorities said they wanted to provide a safer environment for families and other visitors.

Security and executive teams increased patrols in Al-Habashi and at Al-Habashi Market, where encroachments had obstructed vehicles and pedestrians. Legal measures were taken against violators.

Ahmed Ezzat, assistant interior minister and director of Minya Security, stressed the need to keep expanding field campaigns in public parks and other vital areas. He called for immediate action against obstructions and encroachments, continued monitoring and measures to prevent violations from returning.

The Nile Corniche must be preserved as a public recreational space for the people of the governorate, and a safe and orderly environment must be provided for its visitors.
