The mechanism for distribution of shops in Al Furjan (neighborhood) Markets has been criticised by some citizens, local daily Al Arab has reported. |
They feel the conditions stipulated by the committee concerned with real estate investment for government markets exclude large categories of the community, who will not benefit from the project, such as the youth, elderly, retired persons, widowers and widows, the daily notes.
They point out that only those who are wealthy and owners of establishments and companies will benefit from this project, the report adds.
Citizens have told the daily that the shop distribution mechanism will not fulfil the social objectives of setting up these markets as the focus is only on profitability.
They have also expressed concern over the rent (QR6,000) for the shops, which have an area of only 30sqm. This may lead to an increase in rent in other areas, which can contribute to a rise in the prices of goods and services, they add.
There are no comments.
