Sodha said an inspection of the fort and surrounding dilapidated houses was carried out, after which the owners were advised to dismantle the structures in an orderly manner. "Owners were given three days to comply with the order. If the owners fail to undertake necessary actions and the buildings collapse, they will be held responsible for any damage caused by the debris."
Additionally, owners of other dilapidated and dangerous buildings within the municipal area have been notified to dismantle them promptly to prevent any untoward incidents during the monsoon season. A final notice is being issued, referencing Section 243(3) of the Municipal Act 2009, which states that if the owners do not dismantle the buildings despite the notice, the municipality will proceed with the demolition and recover the associated costs from the owners.

UAE launches first 'Youth Social Mission' to begin support for Gaza
The Federal Youth Authority has announced the launch of the first group of participants in the 'Youth Social Missions Programme' to take part in Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 in Al Arish, Egypt as part of the UAE's ongoing contribution for the Palestinian people. Within the 'Humanity' track, the first group was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Sultan Saif Al Neyadi, Minister of State for Youth Affairs, coinciding with World Humanitarian Day on Tuesday. The minister met the participating youth in the field, commending their high spirit and readiness to contribute to humanitarian efforts representing the UAE in one of the world's most crisis-affected regions. Speaking in Al Arish, Al Neyadi highlighted the Youth Social Missions Programme's aim in preparing the Emirati youth to provide sustainable humanitarian support worldwide while representing the UAE's values. The first group's field tasks include preparing relief shipments, packaging and distributing food, medical and water supplies, supporting logistics teams, and following up on the UAE Lifeline pipeline that delivers water to around 600,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Their operations also include providing psychosocial support, and contributing to direct relief efforts in coordination with official entities engaged in the humanitarian operation in Gaza. The initiative aims to develop the skills of Emirati youth, broaden their awareness of global issues and growing humanitarian needs, and open avenues for participation in international initiatives that support the Sustainable Development Goals and reinforce the UAE's role as a leader in humanitarian action. The Youth Social Missions Programme is one of the flagship national initiatives launched by the Federal Youth Authority under the 'Society and Values' pillar of the National Youth Agenda 2031. It aims to prepare Emirati youth to participate in humanitarian, development and cultural missions, thereby enhancing the UAE's global presence and training a new generation of ambassadors for humanitarian work.
