Mine action teams are starting to survey the Damascus-Palmyra-Dir ez-Zor road for its rehabilitation.
Details:
Removal teams of remnants of war and mine warfare at the Ministry of Emergencies and Disasters have begun carrying out survey work on both sides of the Damascus - Tadmor - Deir ez-Zor road.
The purpose of the operations is to locate and remove mines and remnants of war that have not yet exploded, in preparation for the safe delivery of the road to the General Organization for Road Transport in the Ministry of Transport for the start of rehabilitation and expansion works.
The work includes measuring the extension of the road, which is about 440 kilometers long, with the participation of special technical survey teams and war remnants removal teams formed from the ministry's cadres and administrations in several districts.
The work is carried out according to an operative plan that ensures that teams will maintain readiness and continue their current tasks in their original work areas, to achieve a balanced and effective management of resources and response in the field.
The Ministry of Emergencies and Disaster Management confirmed that this step is essential to create a safe environment before the start of reconstruction, which contributes to increasing public security, supporting the development and restoration of essential services.
