Municipality Rejects Indian School’s Request For Relocation

Municipality rejects Indian school’s request for relocation

The Environmental Affairs Committee of the Kuwait Municipal Council, chaired by Alia Al-Farsi, is scheduled to convene its second meeting for the third round to address several key issues. These include:

Proposals by Architect Sherifa Al-Shalfan:

Two proposals aimed at preserving the cleanliness of the marine environment.

A project focusing on aerobic composting.

Letter from the Health Ministry:

Pertaining to the sanitary control of landfills, emphasizing health and environmental concerns.

Letter from Kuwait Green Wall Society:

Detailing collaborative efforts with the Municipal Council, likely related to environmental conservation or urban greening initiatives.

Response from the executive branch (Kuwait Municipality):

Specifically addressing inquiries raised by Alia Al-Farsi regarding the handling of municipal solid waste and construction waste. This response is crucial for understanding the Municipality's policies and practices in waste management.

Approval of Previous Minutes:

The committee will review and approve the minutes of its previous workshop held on September 21, 2023, during the second round of meetings.

In addition to these environmental matters, the Municipality has communicated its decision to the council regarding the Indian Public School's request to relocate its headquarters within Salmiya. The request, which sought a move from Block 12, Plot 11 to Block 10, Plot 28, has been denied due to non-compliance with building regulations. The technical opinion provided by Saud Al-Dabbous, the Director General of the Municipality, clarified that Plot 28 is designated for investment housing and therefore unsuitable for the school's intended use. Plot 28 measures 2,090 square meters and is situated in Block 10, Salmiya.

These developments underscore the Municipality's commitment to regulatory compliance and orderly urban development, alongside its proactive engagement in environmental stewardship as discussed in the upcoming committee meeting.
