The New Obour City Development Authority, headed by Engineer Mahmoud Murad, launched an extensive removal campaign targeting a number of encroachments occurring within the Ahmed Orabi Association, within the framework of the directives of Engineer Sherif El-Sherbiny, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, on the necessity of imposing the prestige of the state and resolutely confronting any violations or encroachments on agricultural lands.
Expanded campaigns in the new crossing to remove building violations within the Ahmed Orabi Association
The Licensing, Development and Security Departments participated in the campaign, under the insurance of the Construction Police, where they removed illegal buildings and occupancies erected without a license on plots of land numbers (468 Line 8 – 470 Line 8 – 665 Line 6), after exhausting all legal procedures and sending multiple warnings to the violators without response.
Engineer Mahmoud Murad confirmed that the campaign comes as part of a series of ongoing moves to remove manifestations of illegal construction in implementation of the mandates of the Ministry of Housing and the New Urban Communities Authority, stressing that the agency will not allow any transgression or attempt to impose a fait accompli outside the scope of the law.
He added that dealing with entities or individuals who are not licensed to sell or divide agricultural land for building on it is a serious violation, explaining that the agency will not recognize any sales contracts or illegal actions issued by these parties, nor will they be given any future priority in the legalization committees, warning citizens against being deceived by such illegal dealings.
The head of the agency concluded his statements by stressing that the New Obour City Authority is vigorously continuing to implement demolition decisions against all building violations, in order to preserve the agricultural area and the cultural appearance of the city, and to consolidate the principle of the rule of law and achieve sustainable urban development in accordance with the vision of the Egyptian state.
