The government is committed to addressing long-standing environment problems in Tubli Bay, Oil and Environment Minister Dr Mohammed Bin Daina said yesterday. Work is underway to expand the wastewater treatment plant, increasing its capacity to 1,000 cubic metres per day, with completion expected by the end of this year, he said.
Existing treatment stations are also being upgraded using the latest technologies, the minister added.
Responding to parliamentary questions by Strategic Thinking Bloc spokesman Khalid Bu Onk, Dr Bin Daina said that environmental deterioration in the bay was the result of cumulative factors spanning many years.
