Monument to project Karbabad significance

The Manama Municipal Council will raise a monument to the Karbabad Village to highlight its historic significance.The council has approved the decision to set up the monument near the gates of the village in the Seef district, council secretary Jassim Redha said.“The project will depict two or three people with a basket made of palm fronds and carrying Dilmun seals,” Redha told Bahrain Tribune.“We have approved the monument because Karbabad had a vast area dotted with date palm trees. The dates from the village used to be a favourite among people of the Kingdom. “Seef Mall is located in this area which includes one of our most important historic sites – Bahrain Fort which dates back to the Dilmun civilisation. The monument will be three metres high and 2.5 metres wide.“During a meeting, councillors also decided to put up advertisement regulations on traffic signal and other poles, specifying size, quantity, types and location for advertisements,” he said.Council chairman Murtada Bader has discussed with the Minister of Municipalities and Agricultural Affairs, Ali Saleh Al Saleh, the council’s projects budget for the next four-year term. The government will announce a budget of BD8 million for all the five councils, and an additional BD2 million will be allocated by the ministry. The total budget of BD10 million will be equally distributed to the five councils, Redha said.
