Meanwhile, the MME's general cleanliness department cleaned public facilities on the Al Khor and Al Thakhira beaches by deploying specialised teams that worked round the clock.
In another development, Al Wakrah Municipality's municipal control department removed encroachments from State-owned property to the west of Al Mashaf. The encroachment included an unauthorised wall and buildings, the MME added.
Also, the General Cleanliness Department, in co-operation with Al Shamal Municipality, removed the carcass of a dolphin that had washed ashore on Al Ghariyah beach and shifted it to the designated site. The beach was also cleaned of garbage that had accumulated there.
