Restoration at a faster pace in Dhofar

“I really appreciate and thank Sayyid Mohammed bin Sultan bin Hamoud al Busaidy, Minister of State and Governor of Dhofar, for his concern for the people of Dhalkout. He kept on taking stock of the situation and personally made visit to understand the gravity of the situation.”

The Governor along with Shaikh Mohammed bin Said al Kalbani, Minister of Social Development, and officials visited the wilayats of Rakhyout and Dhalkout. They took note of damages and immediate requirements of the people of both the wilayats.

He did a review meeting with the sub-committee for the civil defence and public services officials and instructed them to continue the fast pace of restoration work, as Khareef (monsoon) season is fast approaching.

Commenting on lessons learnt from the adverse weather conditions, the Dhalkout wali put stress on enhancing the capabilities of Dhalkout port where large ships can drop anchor in the event of emergency.

“It will help restoration of supply of basic things even if the road link is disturbed and pave way for some business activities as well,” he said. He praised the efforts of the Omani civil defence, army, navy, air force and all other departments involved in the relief and restoration work.

He called for proper guidance to tourists who visit Dhalkout during the Khareef season and put all the service and facilities in place well in advance.
