The Municipality of Beirut lit up on Wednesday night several streets in the Hamra and Sanayeh neighborhoods, starting from the Central Bank to the Ministry of Information, through the street leading to the Ministry of Interior parallel to René Moawad Park, up to the Spears area.
The event was attended by Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud, Beirut Municipal Council President Abdullah Darwish and a number of municipal and social officials.
After the event, Abboud affirmed that “this comes among initiatives to enhance security in Beirut and improve the situation of residents. The Municipality of Beirut is cooperating and participating with the civil sector in lighting the streets of Beirut,” revealing that “Mr. Ali Fatouni is at the forefront of this initiative.”
“We have 18,000 bulbs and 450,000 meters of roads with poles, and we intend from today until New Year’s Eve to have most of them lit,” he said, pointing out that “this process was done with solar energy and private generators, and today we are replacing the existing bulbs, which should have been replaced earlier, with more energy-efficient ones.”
“This is a great challenge for us, but with the efforts of loyal people, we will succeed,” Abboud continued.
