•     Many people have demanded that the authorities do something about abandoned vehicles in the Industrial Area and other places, and find ways to utilise the parts of these vehicles and recycle the rest the way it is done in Europe and the United States. 
•     Some people have demanded that the authorities establish libraries in every neighbourhood to encourage the habit of reading among children and young adults. 
•     People have demanded that the authorities discourage building of swimming pools in homes and residential complexes, as most of them are not fenced and children can fall in and drown in these pools.
•     Complaints against call centre employees in some ministries and departments are increasing. Often, no one takes calls, and even when they answer, they fail to give the callers the information or help needed. These employees must be instructed to do their work properly.
•     Many road and other signs in Arabic in various parts of Doha contain grammatical and spelling errors, which need to be rectified.
•     Some citizens have demanded that licences for animal farms be granted and renewed only if the farms fulfil all safety and security requirements.
•     There is talk in the social media about the new Shahry Smart service launched by Ooredoo.
