Egyptian Member of Parliament Dr. Niveen El-Kateb has submitted a request for an update to the House of Representatives regarding the delayed approval of urban planning boundaries for several villages in Beheira Governorate. The issue has caused prolonged suffering for residents and hindered their interests. El-Kateb emphasized that the urban planning file is crucial, directly impacting citizens' lives, especially in rural areas, where it relates to their right to build legally and achieve organized urban development.
Dr. El-Kateb stated that several villages in Beheira Governorate are still awaiting approval of their urban planning boundaries, despite authorities and citizens submitting requests and correspondences. However, no final decisions have been made, leaving residents in a state of limbo. The MP previously requested action from Beheira Governor Dr. Jaquline Azer, but no tangible results have been achieved so far.
The delayed approvals have significant implications for residents, affecting their ability to plan for their homes and communities. El-Kateb stressed that it is essential to address this issue, as it is a vital demand for thousands of citizens. She urged executive authorities and relevant ministries to expedite the examination of submitted requests, identify reasons for the delay, and establish a clear timeline for completing the approval procedures.
El-Kateb also requested that the status of each village be announced separately, providing clarity on the progress of their urban planning approvals. She emphasized the need for serious handling of this file, as it contributes to reducing violations, achieving proper urban planning, and providing a more stable life for residents in Beheira Governorate's villages.
The MP highlighted that the urban planning boundaries issue is closely tied to citizens' rights, family stability, and organized urban development. She expressed concern that the delay in approvals has led to continued suffering for residents and hindered their interests. El-Kateb reiterated her commitment to following up on this issue in Parliament until practical solutions are reached.
Residents of the affected villages have been facing uncertainty and frustration due to the delayed approvals. El-Kateb's request aims to bring attention to their plight and prompt action from the relevant authorities. By addressing this issue, the government can help ensure that citizens' rights are protected, and their interests are served.
The issue of delayed urban planning approvals is not unique to Beheira Governorate, but El-Kateb's efforts focus on resolving the problem for her constituents. She will continue to push for a resolution, working within the parliamentary framework to achieve a positive outcome for the affected communities.
