Trash being removed from a beach in Qatar.
To maintain cleanliness of beaches and save the environment from pollutants, a massive clean-up drive started on Sunday at the North West beaches.
“The Ministry of Municipality and Environment gives priority to cleaning of beaches and has offered all requirements needed to accomplish the task because they are very important for visitors especially on weekends," said Safar Mubarak Al Shafi, General Cleanliness Project Director.
He also said that the cleaning plan was divided into three phases to clean up about 65km of beaches and the department had provided a permanent place to facilitate the workers until the end of the campaign which is expected to continue one more month. Al Shafi urged the people to support the Ministry’s efforts to maintain beaches and islands clean by throwing waste in proper places and avoiding careless behaviour which might harm the ecosystem.
