Authorities publish detailed community infrastructure update

The ministry said the review began after complaints from residents in the eastern district. Investigators collected statements from teachers, parents and business owners during meetings last week. Officials confirmed that a preliminary report will be delivered to Cabinet before the end of the month. The agency said funding has been set aside for repairs to drainage, roads and public lighting. Police have not announced any arrests, and said their enquiries remain active. Community leaders asked for clear timelines and published updates as work moves forward. The transport division said temporary traffic changes will be announced before construction begins. Health officers are also monitoring conditions at nearby schools and clinics. The opposition called for an independent audit of the project costs and procurement process. Government representatives said the programme is intended to address long-standing infrastructure concerns. Residents were advised to use the official hotline for reports that require an urgent response. The next public consultation is scheduled for Thursday at the community centre. Engineers will assess the affected sites before selecting the order of the repair work. Officials said no final completion date has been set while those assessments are under way. The ministry said additional technical information will be published after the consultation. Authorities urged people to rely on verified notices while the review continues.
