DUBAI — The Dubai Municipality is scheduled to begin the eviction drive against bachelors staying in residential areas this February. Though the deadline for its completion is February next year, officials say it can take a couple of years.
Engineer Walid Abdul Karim of the Building Inspection Department of the Dubai Municipality told Khaleej Times, “According to the initial plan, the eviction drive will be starting from February and will be completed by February next year. But it can take almost two years.”
“The municipality has served notices to several people in this regard. The civic body first serves them with a notice to move. We then wait for a week. If they don’t listen to us, we send a letter to the DEWA asking it to diconnect the water and electricity supply to the premises. The DEWA often takes a long time to withdraw the supply,” he said, explaining what can possibly cause the delay in completing the campaign on time.
Municipality officials said there are 500 bachelors staying in the Rashidiya area alone.
Yep - these laborers should know better then trying to live in a residential area and should get back into the labor camps where there is no air conditioning or any decent amenities.
Anyone would think that they built this City?!?!??
