The Doha Municipality has allotted three special cellphone numbers to receive complaints on food hygiene during the forthcoming Eid Al Fitr holidays. Those who want to complain about slaughterhouses or meat-related cases can call 5205045 while those who want to complain about restaurants or are facing drainage problems can call 5871788 and 5852823 respectively. Mohamed Lahedan Al Kaabi, Assistant Director of Doha Municipality for Health Affairs, said the move was part of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Urban Planning's (MMAUP) intensified campaign to ensure citizens and residents get hygienic food during the Eid holidays. "Over Eid Al Fitr, Municipality inspectors will intensify their inspection campaigns and will be working round-the-clock to ensure food quality. There will be a number of veterinarians working in slaughterhouses to meet the increasing demand over the Eid holidays," Al Kaabi said. Among places and outlets to be inspected are restaurants and cafeterias, slaughterhouses and shops selling meat, vegetable and fruit shops at the Central Market, he said, adding the campaign will also cover hypermarkets, supermarkets and groceries. The municipality, he said, will coordinate with the Public Cleaning Department in order to properly dispose of food waste. Enough containers will be provided at the sites to collect the waste and measures will be taken to dispose of them promptly, Al Kaabi said. In the beginning of Ramadan, the MMAUP assigned a hotline number -– 8008888 – for its food quality campaign. The free line was dedicated to receiving calls from people who want to comment on food outlets in any part of the country during Ramadan. The Pen
