Illegal structures, dumps being removed at Selmun

MEPA and the Government Property Division have launched an operation to demolish illegal structures and remove illegally dumped material in the countryside at Selmun.

A spokesman for MEPA said the operation includes the demolition of some eight rooms and the filling-in of an illegally excavated reservoir.

Workers are also removing illegal gates, walls, and heavy material dumped in the area, including old cars.

The work is being carried out by workers employed by a private contractor and is concentrated on the area between Selmun Palace and Fort Campbell. Most of the area is government-owned property.

The work is expected to continue for some days.
