The Secretary-General of the Local Council, Amin Al-Warafi, indicated that this campaign is an aspect of the religious identity of the Yemeni people in welcoming Ramadan, calling for making the holy month an opportunity to promote values of goodness and charity and to cooperate with sanitation workers by placing waste in designated places.
Director of the Sanitation Fund in the governorate, Bilal Al-Dar, and his deputy Adel Omar explained that the campaign will continue until the end of Ramadan. It will include afforestation work, improving streets, and removing waste and visual distortions in various neighborhoods.
