MAKKAH — Municipal inspectors in Makkah seized 150 cartons of rotten chicken as it was being smuggled into the city.

Mamdouh Iraqi, an employee with Makkah Municipality, said the chicken was stored incorrectly and was being transported in an unsuitable vehicle. The municipality cooperated with several directorates including the Traffic Department and the Custom Control to seize the vehicle.

The municipality also organized an inspection campaign on vegetable markets. It seized four trucks selling rotten fruit and vegetables.

Citizens are encouraged to report any violations they come across to the pertinent authorities. The municipality will always welcome complaints and suggestions of citizens regarding municipal services, Iraqi said.
