Zarqa, July 15 (Petra) — The Zarqa Municipality is executing an
integrated field program aimed at upgrading public services,
improving road infrastructure, and enhancing environmental and health
safety standards across the city, the head of the municipal committee
said.

Khalid Al-Khashman told the Jordan News agency, Petra, that the
municipality is pressing ahead with a comprehensive plan to
rehabilitate damaged streets. Municipal public works crews have begun
scraping and texturing worn-out roads in various parts of the city
ahead of a major resurfacing initiative, he said, adding that road
maintenance contracts would be awarded sequentially based on
priority.

Alongside road repairs, the municipality is upgrading public parks
and facilities. In the Ninth District, crews collaborated with the
municipal container workshop to install new benches in the Aujan
Triangle Park to provide a safer and more welcoming environment for
visiting families and children.

Addressing public health, Al-Khashman said the vector control
department carried out a widespread spraying and disinfection
campaign in the Eighth District as part of a regular program to curb
insect and pest populations.

Simultaneously, sanitation workers conducted extensive cleanup
operations on Al-Quds Al-Arabi Street, the Jabal Tariq area, and the
Third District, removing waste and clearing public squares to improve
the city’s urban landscape.

Al-Khashman emphasized that the success of these initiatives relies
heavily on a strong partnership with local residents, urging citizens
to dispose of waste in designated bins and help preserve public
property to foster community responsibility.
