In the meeting of following up special issues of Hormozgan, the President examined the obstacles to the completion of the Persian Gulf bridge, how to prevent sedimentation of goods in the ports of the province, re-creation of the inefficient urban structure in Hormozgan, and why the establishment of industrial units within 2 kilometres of the coast of Makoran is prohibited.
On Thursday evening, Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi attended the follow-up meeting on special issues of the province in continuation of the plans of the second trip of the Popular Administration to Hormozgan province and while receiving a report on the obstacles, problems, issues and priority issues of Hormozgan, he issued the necessary orders to remove or investigate these obstacles.
At the beginning of this meeting, the topic of the pending Persian Gulf Bridge project and the reasons why the implementation of this project was stopped, as well as the ways to provide financial resources for its completion, were discussed.
According to the report of the Vice-President for Executive Affairs, the process of implementing this project, which will bring many benefits to the province, has been stalled since two decades ago due to the lack of financing, with 15% progress.
After listening to the report, the President ordered the Qeshm Free Zone Organisation to take executive measures while raising this issue in the Economic Council, emphasising the strategic necessity of implementing this project.
Dr Raisi obliged the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development to submit a proposed plan to solve the problem of the residents of settlements within a maximum of one month with the coordination of Hormozgan Governor General.
In the continuation of this meeting, the issue of banning the establishment of industrial, production and service units at a distance of 2 km from Makoran coast was also raised based on the notification of the Department of Environment.
