In accordance with the royal directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa may God protect and preserve him to develop and upgrade cemetery facilities across the Kingdom of Bahrain, and as part of the first phase of this initiative, the Minister of Works, H.E. Eng. Ebrahim bin Hassan Al-Hawaj, and the Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Awqaf, H.E. Nawaf bin Mohammed Al-Maawda, conducted a field visit to Al-Hunainiya Cemetery. The visit aimed to oversee the ongoing development and improvement works, which are designed to enhance the cemetery's facilities and the services provided therein.
The visit focused on monitoring the project's progress against its established timeline. The scope of work includes the improvement of approximately 5,963 square meters of internal pathways within the cemetery. The ministers also reviewed technical and service-related aspects of the development, including requirements for rainwater drainage and lighting. These enhancements are intended to facilitate movement within the site while ensuring the sanctity and privacy of the cemetery are fully respected. The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of next year.

It underscores a commitment to continued collaboration and the exchange of expertise among the concerned entities, ensuring the efficient execution of development projects, the preservation of cemetery facilities, and their enhancement to better meet the needs of visitors.
