Abandoned cars-Mr.Dhahi Khalfan is right



Hello friends

The legal actions will start regarding the abandoned assets only after confirming that, it has been abandoned. This requires a period of six months to reach as an analytical data to the higher authorities. So Mr. Dhahi Khalfan is right, may he he might have received the official data for the 11 cars, so please stop pulling his legs.

Qatar is an Emirate and so is Dubai



The better question is whether more than 11 cars have been abandoned just outside the airport in Dubai or throughout the emirate altogether. Also, I would imagine that many of the "abandoned" cars in Qatar are wrecks or cars that have gone into disuse, and not victims of an economic crisis. I don't think the numbers or cases are specific enough on either side here. It makes no use to argue the point.

Car story



If it's almost 1500 in Doha, how is it possible to be only 11 in Dubai?

Every one seems too tired at bashing crisis on Dubai. Now the trend seems shifting to Doha and Abu Dhabi... Well and good for Dubai.

Abandoned cars all over Qatar-Problem even worse that reported



I live in Doha Jadeed and on my street alone there are 3 abandoned cars that have been there for the past 1 1/2 years since I moved there. Traffic puts an abandoned sticker on the car and then just leaves it and doesn't tow it to the abandoned vehicle yard. If I went around my whole neighbourhood I bet there are over 100 abandoned cars as every street has 2 or 3 abandoned cars.
Even when there is roadworks going on the authorities won't come and remove the abandoned cars so the roadwoarks actually work around the abandoned cars.
If the authorities rounded up the abandoned cars around Doha and took them to the designated yard I bet the amount of vehicles would at least triple.
