•     There was talk about the initiative of the Ministry of Economy and Trade launching electronic devices in several malls and commercial centres across Qatar to receive complaints and observations from consumers without having to go to the ministry to file complaints. 
•     Some people demanded that authorities conduct a study on cracks appearing  on several roads, particularly in Al Gharafa tunnel. They said it was surprising to see cracks in the tunnel which was new. They said authorities should find a solution to the problem for safety and security of people. 
•     Some people complained about vouchers used by several drivers to get money from their sponsors by increasing the amount of fuel they fill. They said the vouchers lack necessary information and include wrong dates and quantities. 
•     Some lawyers demanded that authorities provide them with a permanent office for their association, and support them financially as the association lacks enough budget to perform its role and provide services.
•     Some people were surprised over the action taken by a company which asked occupants in its building to evacuate without prior notice. The building has been taken by the government for public use. 
•     There was talk on social media about the Qatari team which won the eighth West Asia Football Federation Championship at Al Sadd Stadium last Tuesday.
