After notifying its owners to take appropriate measures against it.
He stressed that government efforts have been concerted for years to eliminate and fill abandoned wells, but the media attention during the previous period focused on this phenomenon, which is almost non-existent in the city of Khorfakkan and is rare, given the immediate response to the reports received by the municipality.
For his part, the Director of Fujairah Municipality, Eng. Muhammad Al Afkham, confirmed that the municipality’s cadres, in cooperation with the Fujairah Environment Authority and the Department of Works, succeeded in filling in 12 abandoned wells in areas within their jurisdiction, which were exposed and posed a threat to public safety since the beginning of this year.
He pointed out that the cadres continue to inspect abandoned wells and pits that pose a threat to public safety, to fill them and take the necessary action, pointing out the importance of concerted efforts, in order to reach the desired results by filling in wells and deep and dangerous pits in various regions of the emirate.
Al Afkham called on citizens and residents of the Emirate of Fujairah and its regions to cooperate with the municipality’s cadres, facilitate their work, and inform them about wells and pits that pose a danger to their safety and their children, especially those in agricultural lands, mountains and valleys, by communicating and reporting on the toll-free number 80036.
In addition, a number of citizens whose homes contain unsecured and abandoned wells in the eastern region took the initiative to fence them and communicate with the official authorities responsible, to enable them to know the correct foundations for filling them, in order to ensure that the residents of the houses are not exposed to accidents.
Citizen Mohammed Rashid, from Fujairah, said that he owns a well in his home, and uses it to irrigate trees, noting that the well is old and far from the space in which children play, and that he is sticking to the well to irrigate trees that need large amounts of water.
He explained that he finally covered the well tightly.
