Riyadh – More than 600 projects worth SR16 billion will be given the go-ahead launched in the region of Al-Qassim in Saudi Arabia.
The massive development schemes were announced as Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud embarked on a tour to several parts of the country.
King Salman has also ordered the release of all insolvent Saudi prisoners whose financial obligations do not exceed SR1 million, announcing that he will bear the expense to settle dues of those prisoners who are not convicted of any criminal offenses.
The projects will cover the sectors of education, housing, road construction, environment, water, electricity and public services.
