Doha: Al Sheehaniya Municipality has conducted inspection campaign on homesteads (locally called ‘Beut Al Bar’) at Rawdat Rashid to ensure that the facility is being used for private housing not for other purposes.
Under the campaign, the municipal inspectors recorded 14 violations for turning homesteads from private housing into stores. The action was taken following the provisions of the law No. 10 of 1987 regulating the public and private properties.
The legal action was taken against the beneficiaries of homesteads with undesignated activities, said the Ministry of Municipality and Environment in a statement.
The Ministry said that it had noted that the holders of the permits of homesteads were found using it for undesignated purposes like running labor camps and renting out for other activities.
The purpose for granting permits for homesteads is limited to the private housing not for any other purposes so the permit holders should adhere to it.
The Minister said that permit for operating homestead will be cancelled in case of using for undesignated purposes.
