A total of 7,000 abandoned vehicles were removed from various parts of the country and transported to the designated sites since the beginning of the year, a senior official at the Ministry of Municipality has said.
Hamad Sultan al-Shahwani, a member of the Joint Committee for the Removal of Abandoned Cars at the Ministry of Municipality, told local Arabic daily 'Arrayah' that a total of 10,000 vehicles were spotted through campaigns since the year began. “The campaign will continue while covering the country 24 hours a day and seven days a week including weekends,” he said, adding that so far 10 electronic auctions have been held for the sale of abandoned vehicles through the Mzad Qatar app. These auctions resulted in the sale of about 450 vehicles since the launch of the first edition of auctions for the sale of abandoned cars on February 20. In order to participate in the bidding process, the users should first download the app on their smart devices and log in, the official explained. They can click on live Mzad (Auction), and look for the car they want through the sticker number of each car. The payment will be through the bank cards and the user should register the payment information accordingly.
