Sharjah residents' comfort and rebuilding old areas top priority

In a recent telephone interview featured on the “Direct Line” program on Sharjah Radio and Television, His Highness discussed the municipal initiatives undertaken by Sharjah Municipality. Interviewed by Mohammed Hassan Khalaf, the Director General of the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, His Highness stated, “The Sharjah City Municipality has been assigned the responsibility of executing a comprehensive modernization of the older residential neighborhoods. Notably, the municipality has recently completed modernization efforts in the Al Ghwair area, which included road paving, the enhancement of sewage networks, and the organization of neglected properties and residences. The funding for these development projects has been provided by our administration. Furthermore, we have embarked on the development of the Yarmouk area, which includes the replacement of shop signage with new, standardized designs that embody an elegant aesthetic. Additionally, improvements have been made to Independence Square, situated at the center of this district, along with renovations to the Imam Al Nawawi Mosque.”

Thorough development of Al Qadisiyah and Al Jazat areas

His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah emphasized the commitment to continuously upgrade the road infrastructure, which has been affected by the passage of time and rainfall. Efforts are being made to install rainwater drainage systems to mitigate damage to land and buildings. The municipality has effectively addressed the issue of water accumulation in Martyrs' Square, which is characterized by a lower ground level, in contrast to the higher elevation in University City. Currently, the Al Qadisiyah area is undergoing enhancements, as it contains numerous abandoned and uninhabitable structures. The initiative aims to upgrade this area by paving roads, planting trees, and establishing community parks to foster development and improvement, alongside efforts in the Al Jazat area. All these measures are undertaken to ensure the comfort of the residents of the emirate. The authorities assure all residents of the Emirate of Sharjah that their living environment will remain safe.

Trees emit oxygen and positivity

His Highness the Ruler concluded his remarks by stating: “We encourage individuals to cultivate trees in their homes and enjoy the shade they provide. We offer trees at no cost, and all municipalities procure them from the nurseries located at Al Badi Palace. We produce five million saplings, which serve as a crucial catalyst for enhancing agricultural processes and are readily absorbed and transmitted within plants. Additionally, we supply municipalities with mature trees that are ready for immediate planting. Among the aesthetically pleasing species we cultivate is the ‘Beach Mallow,’ known for its lush appearance. We have strategically planted these specimens near mosques in Kalba. The importance of trees cannot be overstated; they absorb harmful carbon dioxide and supply the oxygen necessary for human respiration. Furthermore, trees provide shade and emit positive electrons that contribute to psychological well-being, fostering calmness, civility, and improved manners in individuals. Spending time beneath trees offers a natural alternative to contemporary electronic devices that release positive electrons.”
