Al-Shimmari said in a statement to Al-Seyassah daily that this campaign comes within the ongoing campaigns in all northern governorat­es, which recently targeted the industrial areas, where dozens of campaigns have been launched since the beginning of this year, most notably the campaign and the comprehens­ive field survey in the ports corporatio­n 3 months ago and the campaigns in the Abdali area.

He explained the campaign against industrial plots on AlSahafa Street came after several reports were received regarding theft of power through illegal electricit­y connection­s, which necessitat­ed launching of the campaign to identify the suspects despite pressures and threat the department faced “but we continue to perform our duty”.

Al-Shimmari indicated the campaign targeted 65 industrial plots, and the violations varied between direct power connection (without a meter) to changing the capacity of the fuses and extensions in violation of the schemes approved by the Ministry of Electricit­y and Water.
