Bar, Makkah mayor, has rejected any negative impact of development projects in the Central Area of the holy city on the Zamzam water. He reiterated that no project is licensed until after a certificate is obtained from the Saudi Geological Survey as it is the qualified body concerned with ensuring no impact on Zamzam water, according to a report in Al-Watan Arabic newspaper. During a recent meeting with the media in a gathering hosted by Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Zahrani, former head of the Notary Public, Mayor Al-Bar noted that work has begun on the four ring roads around the city. He is expecting completion of these projects between two to four years in phases. Al-Bar pointed out that these projects will facilitate traffic movement in the holy city and reduce traffic jams currently occurring due to the large number of vehicles. Al-Bar said the mayoralty is also working on improving the general negative perception of the municipality by improving municipal services through the use of new technology to eliminate routine and delaying procedures.
