Amman, January 19 — Mafraq Municipality has decided to halt new building permits within wadis and dams zones to ensure public safety.
Dr. Mohammad Al-Fayez, head of the municipal committee, said in a statement Monday that the municipality faced significant challenges during recent weather events due to buildings in these zones obstructing emergency teams’ work.

Al-Fayez added that work is ongoing to address identified high-risk areas during recent weather events to enhance public safety.
