MUSCAT: Muscat Municipality has once again highlighted the importance of adhering to technical standards in preserving the city’s aesthetic appeal, which is not only a source of pride for residents but also a key element of its identity. The Municipality’s commitment to maintaining a visually appealing city is reflected in its continued efforts to enforce building regulations. Residents and business owners alike are encouraged to comply with these standards to ensure Muscat remains a beautiful and vibrant place for all.
A recent inspection conducted by the Municipality uncovered several violations that detract from the city’s visual charm. These discrepancies include visual distortions on building exteriors, satellite dishes improperly mounted on balconies and front facades, cracks in building cladding, and dilapidated or incomplete front fences. Such issues not only affect the overall appearance of the city but also contribute to a negative perception of its development. The Municipality has emphasized the need for prompt action to address these concerns and prevent further damage to the city’s aesthetic fabric.
Among the most concerning findings were the deformed iron barriers used on fences or rooftops. These barriers, often an eyesore, contribute to a sense of neglect and can undermine the visual harmony of surrounding areas. The Municipality has urged property owners to ensure that all barriers and structures conform to the approved standards, as this is essential in maintaining both the beauty and safety of the city.
In light of these findings, Muscat Municipality has called for immediate corrective action to rectify the identified issues. Building owners have been reminded of their shared responsibility in maintaining the city’s integrity and visual attractiveness. By working together and adhering to the Municipality’s guidelines, residents can help preserve Muscat’s reputation as a city of pride and beauty, ensuring that it remains a welcoming environment for everyone.
