Upon the recommendations of the Shura Council, the Cabinet decided to form a committee headed by a representative from the Ministry of Interior with membership of representatives from the National Tourism Council, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Public Works Authority and Qatar Petroleum.
The committee will put in place an integrated plan to develop the Sealine area, improve the level of traffic safety in it and reduce risks of accidents there, while studying the requirements and the means necessary to achieve this.
The committee will submit a report and will give its recommendations to the Minister of Interior to present the report before the Council of Ministers.
