Ministry seizes cement company for violation
The State has been conducting vigilant inspections and searches throughout the country for violations of ministry rules, regulations and consumer rights.
In these searches not only restaurants, beauty salons, pharmacies, grocery stores etc, have been caught red handed but also companies that have been breaching the rules laid down by the country.
Recently, Baladiya tweeted in its official Twitter platform that a cement company had been found discharging concrete water outside of its boundaries.
While the company has been seized by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), the aftermath of its seizure or further details on the penalty issued to the company were not revealed in the tweet.
Furthermore, the tweet failed to mention the name or the location of the company as well.

WT: Oh! Come on. I believe you had d-e-l-i-b-e-r-a-t-e-l-y used the other meanings of the word "seize", overlooking the meaning of the word which was correctly used here. I had pointed this out clearly in my post and demonstrated with examples, the word had been correctly used. With nothing left in hand to cover yourself, you are now just beating about the bush. That's all. It just adds to your folly.
They took possession of it? How? Are they the new owners now?
So the occupied the factory (company)? I doubt it.

Great work by the autorities - However, it would be better to also name and shame such companies
If the owner is a sheikh we will never know the name.
