Government to issue report on gas blast after investigation
The State Cabinet has called on the public not to have prejudices about the gas tank blast in a restaurant near Landmark Mall last month and wait until the investigation report is issued.
"The competent authorities are still working to complete the investigation and will issue in the near future a comprehensive and clear cut statement about the incident," the Cabinet said in a statement issued last week.
Meanwhile, the Prosecutor General has banned publication of any news about investigations the prosecution is conducting into the explosion.
The ban is effective until the whole case is submitted to the competent court.
The Cabinet was last week briefed on a report on the incident, its causes and the necessary measures and precautions to prevent such incidents in future and conveyed deep condolences to the families of the victims.
The cabinet lauded the quick response of the concerned sections "which dealt with the incident professionally and with responsibility".
It also praised the citizens and residents for "their reluctance to be deceived by the incorrect rumours and information circulated on the incident".
