Assiut Governor intensifies market oversight and urban planning updates

Assiut Governor Mohamed Alwan has announced several administrative and regulatory measures aimed at market stability and urban development within the governorate.

In an effort to regulate local markets, the governorate has intensified inspections on food supplies, bakeries, and gas cylinder warehouses. These campaigns, conducted under the direction of the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, resulted in the seizure of expired food products, underweight sugar and rice, and undocumented cigarettes. Additionally, 72 violations were recorded at municipal bakeries regarding hygiene, weight discrepancies, and lack of proper documentation.

Simultaneously, the governorate is advancing urban planning initiatives. The General Organization for Physical Planning has approved updated urban boundaries for 11 villages across the Dayrut and Abnub districts, as well as the approval of Ezbet al-Sharif in al-Hamam village. These updates are intended to organize urban growth, prevent unauthorized construction, and protect agricultural land while meeting the future needs of the population.
