"called on the residents of Khorfakkan not to fear a shortage of residential land - Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi"

Sharjah, January 20

Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, revealed in a phone interview on the programme Direct Line the allocation of a new area in Jabal Al Ashkel, near the Khorfakkan Club for the Disabled, for the construction of a residential neighbourhood.

The development will include hundreds of homes for citizens and will be named "Al Ashkel Neighbourhood".

He noted that the road in the area will be paved, leading to Al Rafisah, and pointed out that these mountain homes will have distinct features compared to the residences overlooking the sea.

The Ruler of Sharjah called on the residents of Khorfakkan not to fear a shortage of residential land in the city, highlighting that many believe housing in Al Harray area has been completely exhausted.

He announced that there are 270 homes under construction in two groups, including 120 homes in Al Mudeife whose plots have already been handed over to the Department of Housing.

He added that the additional plots in Al Harray area, previously allocated to holders of commercial licences, are now being handed over to the municipality, and that construction is expected to take approximately two years.

The Ruler of Sharjah also noted that similar projects, following the same regulations, are being implemented in the city of Kalba along the ring road, starting from Al Ghayl, then Al Saaf and Al Tareef, pointing out that construction has begun in Al Dahiyat residential neighbourhood.

Mountain homes with distinct features sound amazing! The UAE's focus on developing every region, from coastal to mountainous areas, is impressive. In India, we often see development concentrated in metros. A lesson in balanced regional growth here.

As someone who has worked on infrastructure projects, the two-year timeline for construction seems ambitious but achievable with proper planning. The key will be ensuring quality isn't compromised for speed. The road connectivity to Al Rafisah is a crucial detail.

It's good to see the Ruler directly addressing citizens' fears about a land shortage. Transparency in housing allocation is so important. I hope the process for distributing these hundreds of homes is fair and reaches the people who need them most. Jai Hind!

While the project is commendable, I hope the environmental impact of building in mountainous areas like Jabal Al Ashkel is carefully studied. Sustainable development is key. The article mentions similar projects in Kalba—hope they maintain ecological balance.

"Hundreds of homes for citizens" – this phrase warms my heart. Housing is a fundamental need. The UAE government's proactive approach is a benchmark. In our Indian cities, affordable housing projects often get delayed for years. We need this efficiency! 💪
