Egypt Housing Minister issues demolition orders for North Coast violations

Egypt's Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, Randa El-Minshawi, has issued four demolition orders targeting building violations in the North Coast region. These actions fall under the jurisdiction of the First Sector Development Authority for the Northwest Coast and aim to combat illegal construction and encroachments on lands belonging to the New Urban Communities Authority.

The specific violations include unlicensed ground-floor buildings and wooden structures located in Al-Hammam and along the Alexandria-Matrouh coastal road.

In addition to the North Coast actions, urban development authorities in Sheikh Zayed, Hadayek El-Ashier of Ramadan, and Hadayek October have intensified campaigns to address violations. In Sheikh Zayed, authorities executed 15 decisions involving closures, sealing premises, and disconnecting utilities to maintain urban order and clear public walkways.
