A meeting held  at the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, headed by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abdulrahman Jama’i, discussed the damage caused by floods, rock collapses, and overloading of heavy transport locomotives on Hajjah Governorate roads.

The meeting, which included the Minister of Transport and Public Works, Muhammad Qahim, the Governor of Hajjah, Hilal al-Sufi, and the Member of Parliament, Ali Hiba Mansari, stressed the need to establish an effective mechanism to preserve the roads entering and exiting the governorate, as well as the Hajjah-Sana’a road, by subjecting overloaded locomotives to the axle balance law.
