KUWAIT CITY, May 8: Under the leadership of Major General Yousef Al Khadda, the Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic and Operations Affairs, the General Traffic Department launched an inspection campaign targeting workshops, garages, and craftsmen in the Jleeb Al Shuyoukh area. The objective was to curb vehicles using loud mufflers to amplify exhaust sound and apprehend violators. Multiple government agencies collaborated in the campaign, resulting in the identification of 123 traffic violations, seizure of two vehicles, and arrest of 22 individuals for violating residency laws. The Ministry of Commerce filed six arrest reports, while the Ministry of Electricity disconnected power supply to 17 workshops. The Food Authority issued 14 violations to delivery vehicles, orders, and ice cream carts.
Furthermore, the municipality affixed 90 stickers on abandoned vehicles obstructing roads, removed seven abandoned vehicles, and permanently shut down three unlicensed workshops.
