Amman: The Zarqa Municipality is executing an integrated field program aimed at upgrading public services, improving road infrastructure, and enhancing environmental and health safety standards across the city, the head of the municipal committee said.
According to Jordan News Agency, Khalid Al-Khashman stated that the municipality is advancing a comprehensive plan to rehabilitate damaged streets. Municipal public works crews have begun scraping and texturing worn-out roads in various parts of the city ahead of a major resurfacing initiative. Al-Khashman noted that road maintenance contracts would be awarded sequentially based on priority.
In addition to road repairs, the municipality is enhancing public parks and facilities. In the Ninth District, crews worked with the municipal container workshop to install new benches in the Aujan Triangle Park, aiming to provide a safer and more welcoming environment for visiting families and children.
Addressing public health concerns, Al-Khashman mentioned that the vector control department conducted a widespread spraying and disinfection campaign in the Eighth District. This is part of a regular program to control insect and pest populations.
Meanwhile, sanitation workers carried out extensive cleanup operations on Al-Quds Al-Arabi Street, the Jabal Tariq area, and the Third District. They focused on removing waste and clearing public squares to improve the city's urban landscape.
Al-Khashman stressed that the success of these initiatives depends significantly on collaboration with local residents. He urged citizens to dispose of waste in designated bins and help preserve public property to promote community responsibility.
