Students across Muharraq could soon be shielded from the blazing sun and heavy rain while waiting outside their schools, following a unanimous decision by the Muharraq Municipal Council to instal external umbrellas and shading structures in school waiting areas.
The proposal, put forward by the council’s services and public utilities committee chairman Abdulqader Al Sayed, aims to enhance comfort and safety of students who often wait outdoors for long periods before and after school hours .
