DOHA: The online application for winter camping which opened yesterday received a huge response from citizens, literally jamming the network and forcing the Ministry of Municipality and Environment to suspend the service on the very first day.
The Ministry tweeted later yesterday that the ‘technical glitch’ was being repaired and the online service will resume soon.
“We would like to notify that the online registration system for winter camping is being repaired and the time for opening registration will be announced later,» tweeted the ministry at around 4 pm yesterday.
“The website is under tremendous pressure due to the huge number of requests for online registration. Please try again,” said another post on the Twitter account of the Ministry.
The online service is expected to resume today.
Registration for winter camping started yesterday and will continue until November 17. The camping season will start from November 1 and end on April 15, next year.
