The presidency said it will start the project with 50 carts during Ramadan and added that the carts will only be given to people who can operate them by themselves.
The presidency said the carts will be handed over on formal receipts which contain the user’s name and the number of his ID or passport. The users will be held responsible in case of damage to the carts. In such a case they may be asked to pay compensation.
