The Public Authority for Industry closed 31 industrial plots in several areas for committing various violations of the regulations and requirements governing industrial activities, pursuant to decisions issued by the Acting Director General of the Authority and published in the Official Gazette.
The closure decisions covered plots in the Al-Nuaimiyat, South Um Al-Aish, Shuwaikh Industrial, and Sulaybiyah Kabd areas, as well as the artisanal expansion zones in Sulaybiyah, Jahra, Al-Rayyan, and Al-Mirqab.
The recorded violations included encroachment on state property, closing plots and ceasing all activities within them, conducting commercial operations with expired licenses or contracts, dumping rubble and waste, using plots for purposes other than those designated, and exploiting them without legal authorization.
Other violations involved subdividing plots and re-letting them, using them for worker housing without a license, and failing to meet appropriate health standards for the work environment.
The Authority granted violators a one-month deadline from the date of closure to rectify the violations and address their causes, warning that failure to comply within the specified period would result in harsher penalties and the initiation of necessary legal proceedings in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
