“We ensure strengthening our efforts, especially during holidays, to meet the expected increase in the demand for Tadweer’s services. To prepare for Eid Al-Adha, the Centre has prepared a comprehensive work plan that addresses all the requirements of public sanitation to preserve the Emirate’s public appearance and meet the requirements of the community.”
