The compensation reached 92 families affected by the down-pour in the Al-Lawzi area, our sister concern AlAyam said in a report.

The move follows the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to compensate citizens and develop sustainable solutions in the areas facing rainwater accumulation.

Praising the quick action by the council, the ministry said it is keen to compensate the affected persons after studying and evaluating the requests received.

The ministry said it is working to develop sustainable solutions to ensure a quality of life for citizens in all regions of the Kingdom.
