The Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning (MMUP) has allotted a 10,000sqm land in Al Wakrah for setting up a traditional butchery, local daily Arrayah has reported.
It is likely to open before Ramadan, the daily quoted Abdul Rahman Hamad al-Kaabi, CEO, Widam Food Co, as saying.
He said that owing to a steep rise in the local population in Al Wakrah, a traditional butchery has become necessary in the municipal town.
The town and its surroundings have started attracting more residents for quite some time owing to such developments as the Hamad International Airport (HIA) and upcoming New Doha Port on the southern side of Wakrah. “Besides the residents of Mesaieed also stand to be benefited if a butchery comes up in the area,” he said.
Al-Kaabi said Widam has formed a technical committee to work on the proposal.
“We will ensure that modern and innovative equipment are put in place in the proposed butchery,” he said, adding: “The butchery will also have a veterinary doctor, accounts office, and a waiting hall to accommodate nearly 100 people besides such mandatory facilities as stockyards, fodder stores and car parking areas.”
