Flood light pole about to collapse

I would like to elaborate a dangerous condition in a small ground existing in Al Nasr Area. The problem was reported to Kahrama and Baladiya; after going through a series of calls and getting in contact with various officials.

I was informed by Baladiya that the ground belongs to Qatar Olympic Committee and they cannot take any action on it. But when i tried to contact Qatar Olympic committee, nobody is responding to the calls and E Mails. Appreciate if anybody in this forum can advise whom to contact to remove this broken pole.

As you can see from the attached pictures, one of the Flood light pole is corroded badly and the base is broken completely; it is supported only by the electrical wire and can fall down any time.

I am concerned about the kids who play in the ground every day. The Pole is located in a ground which is right in front of BUILDING # 1, ZONE 39 and STREET # 956 (in front of Juma Masjid, Fereej Al Nasr).

Please advise relevant parties to report as I am not familiar with the authorities and their jurisdictions in Doha. I have also attached a Location Map (enclosed with red circle) of the ground for easy identification.

Please feel free to contact me in case of any clarification.
