• A grill
has fallen down at Jebel Hafeet and is a hazard.
On my visit to Jebel Hafeet, Al Ain a few days ago, I found
a series of safety and environmental hazards.
One section of the grill near the restaurant is broken and
taken down by some people. This gives a dangerous opportunity to those people
who are passionate about taking group photographs and venture to the edge.
While I was there, I saw a group of people taking seriously
dangerous steps and clicking photographs without thinking of the danger ahead
of them, if they slip.
I also found many venturing to the steep mountain ahead and
trekking. With rain and strong winds, these pathways are dangerous and
accidents can happen any time. There are also possibilities for other hidden
dangers of the unknown kind. And it does not end there. Those who venture out
throw plastic cans and bottles.
I humbly request the authorities to take urgent measures to
close the grills and install necessary signboards to keep the area clean at all
times.
