New truck ban hours on Wafra highway 306
KUWAIT: Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Major General Abdullah Al-Muhanna announced changing truck ban hours along Wafra highway number 306 to 6:00 am - 8:00 am instead of 6:30 am - 9:30 am, and from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm instead of 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm. Muhanna stressed that reducing the ban hours only applied to this specific road due to the very heavy traffic on it.
Food security
The Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) plans to withdraw all land plots allocated for food security from beneficiaries who had not respected their contract conditions, Acting Director Faisal Al-Hasawi said. Owners of these farms have already been warned but they failed to comply within a previous notice period, Hasawi added. Meanwhile, PAAAFR asked the municipality to provide it with coordinates and satellite images of Benaider reservation so that it could be turned into a sanctuary for natural desert plants.
