Algiers – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has issued a directive mandating strict adherence to cleanliness standards for all public and private transport vehicles operating within Algeria. The order, announced Sunday, aims to improve hygiene conditions across urban centers and throughout the country’s transportation network.
The presidential decree emphasizes the responsibility of vehicle owners to maintain a clean and sanitary environment within their vehicles. This applies to all forms of public transportation, including buses, taxis, and ride-sharing services, as well as privately owned vehicles used for commercial transport purposes.
The specific details of the enforcement mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance have yet to be fully outlined. However, sources indicate that authorities will be implementing a comprehensive inspection program to ensure that vehicles meet the required cleanliness standards. This will likely involve regular checks at transportation hubs and along major routes.
The move is part of a broader government initiative to enhance public health and sanitation across the nation. Maintaining cleanliness in public transport is considered crucial in preventing the spread of disease and creating a more pleasant environment for commuters and travelers.
The directive has been met with mixed reactions. Some citizens have welcomed the initiative as a necessary step towards improving public hygiene. Others have expressed concerns about the feasibility of implementing and enforcing the new regulations effectively. Concerns about additional costs for transport owners have also been raised.
DZWatch will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available. We will also be reporting on the specific measures being taken to implement the President’s directive and the impact it is having on the transportation sector and the public at large.
