The office emphasized the importance of continuing the efforts of the Traffic Police in organizing traffic and reducing road accidents.

Under the topic of societal issues, the meeting addressed the situation of illegal migrants in the city of Ataq and the resulting security and social challenges, renewing its call for the government to strengthen its support for the local authority in addressing this phenomenon.
