The Expansion Committee at Imam Ali Holy Shrine has announced the start of its campaign to remove commercial buildings and shops located on the south-western side opposite to (Al-Qibla) and (Al-Faraj) gates.
The head of the Engineering Affairs Department, Eng. Mustafa Mahbouba, said in a statement followed by Shia Waves Agency, “The demolition works started on Shaaban 11, corresponding to March 5, 2023.”
Mahbouba added that these works come to add more areas to the holy shrine as numbers of pilgrims to the holy city are increasing.
