The Ministry of Municipality, represented by the Public Cleanliness Department, in cooperation with Qatari Diar, organized a Public Cleanliness march Wednesday in Lusail Boulevard, under the slogan “One March… A Cleaner City.”
The march was held under the patronage of HE Minister of Municipality Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah, and with the participation and attendance of several officials from various government and private entities.
In this context, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Services Affairs Eng. Abdullah Ahmed Al Karani emphasized that the aim of the march was to highlight the significant efforts made by sanitation workers and to shed light on their vital role in maintaining public health and enhancing the urban landscape of the State of Qatar.
Eng. Abdullah Ahmed Al Karani also mentioned the launch of the smart cities solutions project last year, which involved installing sensors in waste containers. This has contributed to reducing travel times, lowering carbon emissions, and improving operational efficiency. He explained that the project was implemented in Al-Wakra Municipality and is being gradually rolled out to other municipalities, in addition to future plans to modernize the sanitation fleet.
The march saw the participation of approximately 600 workers from various participating entities and 32 specialized vehicles. He noted that this large number displays the efforts exerted to maintain the city’s cleanliness and highlights the level of cooperation between government agencies and private sector partners.
The Head of the Awareness and Education Section stressed that the march’s objective was not only to clean the city but also to instill a culture of environmental respect and teamwork, that allows participants to sense that they have a real role in preserving the beauty of the city, and that environmental awareness can be both enjoyable and beneficial.
It is worth noting that the Public Cleanliness march is an annual field march held in Lusail Boulevard, bringing together government entities, national companies, the private sector, community organizations, media, and the public in a shared awareness experience about the community’s responsibility in maintaining the city’s cleanliness, beauty, and sustainability.
