El Kasseri said that the relevant departments at the New Nubaria Development Authority have launched a campaign to remove building violations. This is being coordinated between the relevant departments with the authority and security authorities. "The New Nubaria Development Authority's relevant departments will continue to monitor and prevent all building violations in the city and remove them immediately, to prevent illegal buildings and deter violators," El Kasseri elaborated. "Records of construction violations will be transferred to the military prosecution according to the Emergency Law, to deter those who take advantage of exceptional circumstances due to the coronavirus."
