A renewed call to upgrade infrastructure and essential facilities at Hamad Town’s historic Souq Waqif has been made by the Northern Municipal Council, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the market’s long-term appeal and functionality. The council’s technical committee chairman and area councillor Jassim Hejres, who has been spearheading efforts to improve the market, said the suq deserves more than just cosmetic improvements. He urged authorities to push forward with installing proper roads, a functioning sewage system plus public toilets, and called for a clear timeline for implementation.
