His Majesty Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, decreed on Wednesday that Dh16 million be paid in compensation to owners of lands and houses damaged by the Kalba Market developments. The project is scheduled to begin in September, and the compensation will be paid by the Department of Town Planning and Survey the next week.

The Sharjah Ruler asked the department to evaluate the compensation issue in Kalba's "Al-Bahais" region, where the owners agreed to hand up the lands in exchange for adequate compensation. Dr. Sheikh Sultan also issued an Emiri Decree announcing the retirement of Khor Fakkan University's Deputy Chancellor for Community Affairs and Public Relations. Dr Abdullah Suleiman Obaid Al-Mughni Al-Naqbi, Deputy Director of Khor Fakkan University for Community Affairs and Public Relations, was referred to retirement as of that date, according to the Decree.
