The Imbaba district in Giza Governorate, led by Chairman Bassem Hamdi, has announced a major crackdown on street vendors and encroachments in the area. The move aims to address the growing issue of vendors and groups setting up makeshift shelters on public roads, causing disruptions to citizens and affecting the area's aesthetic appeal. As part of this effort, a large-scale campaign was launched to target areas with high concentrations of street vendors.

The campaign resulted in the seizure and removal of several makeshift shelters erected on public roads, as well as the clearing of obstructions that hindered pedestrian movement. The targeted areas included several key streets and neighborhoods within the district, such as Shari'a Al-Wahda, Al-Bohi, Al-Qawmiyya Al-Arabiyya, and others. This initiative is part of the district's plan to enhance monitoring and swiftly address any new encroachments or shelters set up on public roads.

The Imbaba district's efforts are focused on limiting the spread of street vending and maintaining order on the streets. The campaign was led by Deputy Chairmen of Imbaba, including Mohamed Niyazi, Ahmed El-Naggar, Ahmed Hosny, and others. They were joined by various department heads, such as Mahmoud Amin and Mohamed Salama, who oversee the management of obstructions, and Basem Thakri, who is in charge of facilities and monitoring.

The district has pledged to continue its campaigns to address the issue of street vendors and remove any obstructions or shelters erected on public roads. This move is expected to contribute to maintaining cleanliness, order, and improved services for residents. The initiative aligns with directives from Giza Governor Dr. Ahmed Al-Ansari and under the supervision of Deputy Governor Dr. Hind Abdel Halim.

The efforts of the Imbaba district are part of a broader strategy by the Giza Governorate to enhance cleanliness and eliminate encroachments across various districts. The campaign reflects the governorate's commitment to improving living conditions and public services. Residents can expect continued efforts to monitor and address street vending and other issues affecting the area.

Key areas targeted during the campaign included Shari'a Al-Wahda, Al-Bohi, Al-Qawmiyya Al-Arabiyya, Al-'Amil Al-Awwal, Tr'at Al-Sawahil, Aziz Ezat, Al-Mahatta, and Mohamed Hijazi. These areas were chosen due to their high concentration of street vendors and encroachments. The district aims to ensure that public roads remain clear and accessible to residents.

The Imbaba district's campaign resulted in the confiscation of several makeshift shelters and the removal of obstructions. The district's authorities will continue to monitor the situation and take necessary actions to prevent the recurrence of street vending and encroachments.
