The municipality issued an order to demolish 263 properties in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area, mandating owners to vacate and raze the structures within two weeks of the order’s publication in the Official Gazette, which appeared in yesterday’s Sunday edition. The decision cited reports from the government center for testing, quality control, and research under the Ministry of Public Works, which confirmed that the buildings were structurally unsound, on the verge of collapse, and posed an imminent threat to lives, property, and public safety. The order, issued by the municipality’s general director and published in the “Kuwait Today” edition, stipulates that the municipality will carry out the demolition at the owners’ expense if they fail to do so within the allotted period.
