Al Rayyan Municipality issues 168 violation reports

These resulted in the issuance of 168 violation reports for non-compliance with Law No 3 for 1975 on commercial and industrial houses and public utilities, and 19 reports for flouting Law No 8 of 1990 on the regulation of human food control. 

Of these, 177 cases were resolved through reconciliation. 

Besides, various amounts of foodstuff were destroyed for being unfit for human consumption, which included 37 whole carcasses of Arab lambs and 340kg of meat. The fines collected for these violations amounted to QR433,000.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment has adopted a new marketing programme for locally-produced premium-quality vegetables in co-operation with the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, Consumer Protection Sector, and Al Meera Consumer Goods Company. 

The programme is based, in the first stage, on marketing at Al Meera outlets the products of farms whose vegetables are on a par - in terms of quality - with those of European origin. A total of 16 major producing farms are taking part in the project and the marketing process will run until May 31, 2017.
