According to Emirates News Agency, the meeting addressed various government topics aimed at enhancing the emirate's government work system, overseeing departmental performance, and reviewing the advancement of development projects across Sharjah. One of the significant outcomes of the meeting was the decision to form a committee tasked with monitoring and eliminating violations in commercial and industrial warehouses in Sharjah. This committee will conduct thorough inspections to ensure adherence to safety and security standards, implement preventive measures to minimize fire risks, and enforce strict penalties on entities that do not comply, particularly regarding the storage of hazardous and flammable materials.
The Sharjah Police will chair this committee, which will also include members from the Sharjah Civil Defence Authority, the Department of Municipal Affairs, the Department of Economic Development, and the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority.
Additionally, SEC approved a decision to grant extra social assistance to eligible beneficiaries in Sharjah, aimed at improving social and living stability.
