DZWatch Exclusive: A nationwide initiative to reorganize public spaces and improve urban environments has commenced, according to a statement released Sunday by the Ministry of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transportation.
The campaign, which involves field operations across numerous provinces, aims to restore dignity to public areas and optimize the use of sidewalks and roads. Local authorities are taking the lead in implementing the new measures.
DZWatch sources indicate that the initiative is a direct response to growing concerns regarding the encroachment of informal commercial activities on public thoroughfares, hindering pedestrian movement and contributing to urban congestion. The operations will focus on clearing obstructions, regulating street vending, and ensuring compliance with urban planning regulations.
“The goal is to create more livable and accessible urban spaces for all citizens,” a ministry spokesperson stated. “This involves not only removing obstructions but also promoting responsible use of public areas and enforcing existing regulations.”
The campaign is expected to continue in the coming weeks, with authorities urging the public to cooperate with the new measures. Further details regarding specific interventions and long-term strategies will be announced in due course.
This development marks a significant step towards enhancing the quality of life in urban centers across the nation. DZWatch will continue to provide updates as the campaign progresses.
