Engineer Randa El Menshawy, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, has issued 12 decisions ordering the removal of encroachments and building violations across several areas under the jurisdiction of the New Urban Communities Authority, particularly in New Beni Suef City and the Second Sector of the North West Coast.

The Minister stressed the ongoing efforts of the Ministry’s agencies to eliminate building violations and encroachments in new cities and urban communities, while strengthening regular inspection campaigns to curb informal practices and preserve the civilized and aesthetic image of the cities.

The violations included encroachments on land boundaries through the construction of fences and underground water tanks in the North West Coast area, as well as the pouring of concrete slabs and carrying out construction works on land plots in various locations within New Beni Suef City. All such activities were conducted without the required permits and with no legal basis.
