Vets and inspectors to examine livestock, monitor food est
Obaid Saeed Al Tunaiji, the Director General of Sharjah Municipality, announced that a dedicated team of 28 veterinarians and their assistants will be working at the Sharjah Livestock Market. Their job is to check the health of livestock and take blood samples to ensure the animals are healthy and free from diseases. The municipality is also conducting a thorough cleaning campaign, spraying the pens and quarantine areas to make sure only healthy livestock come into the emirate.
Additionally, Al Tunaiji shared that the municipality is ramping up efforts to inspect food establishments, barbershops, and beauty centers, making sure they meet the necessary health standards. This ensures that the public has access to safe food and quality services that promote good health. For this important work, over 150 inspectors—both men and women—have been assigned to monitor these places during the busy Eid holiday.
The municipality has worked hard to prepare for Eid celebrations in the city. They've set up teams, brought in equipment, and ensured that all prayer areas are ready. This includes doing necessary ground work, creating parking spaces for worshippers, thoroughly cleaning the areas, and launching a special campaign to eliminate pests, all to create a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
Officials emphasized the importance of inspection teams, who will keep an eye out for any bad practices, especially regarding street butchers. These butchers can pose serious health risks, as the animals they sell might not meet health standards, and they lack the expertise to ensure their meat is safe for consumption. It's essential that slaughtering happens in proper facilities that follow health guidelines, which is crucial for consumer safety.
Additionally, inspectors will watch for any activities that disrupt informal markets or anything that could negatively affect the community's well-being or appearance. They will also closely oversee public beaches and parks during the busy holiday period, increasing the number of inspectors and lifeguards to ensure that everyone follows the rules and stays safe.
As for public parking, the Director General reminded everyone that parking is free on the first three days of Eid. However, there are paid parking areas that are marked with blue signs, which remain operational throughout the week and on official holidays. The municipality is actively checking for parking violations to make sure the service runs smoothly and benefits everyone. They encourage everyone to avoid bad parking habits, like taking up more than one space or parking on sidewalks, as these actions can disrupt service and affect the local area's appearance.
The Sharjah Municipality urges everyone to follow the guidelines and enjoy the festive atmosphere in the city. They also encourage people to reach out to their 24/7 call center at 993 with any questions or reports.
