Madina Old Zonal Council Market demolished over structural safety concerns

The exercise follows a structural integrity test conducted on the facility, which reportedly recorded readings as low as 11 Newtons per square millimeter (N/mm²), raising immediate red flags about the safety of traders, shoppers, and other users of the market. The Municipal Engineer for the assembly, Engineer Mohammed Danjumah Ahmed, stated that the demolition had become necessary to forestall any potential disasters associated with the deteriorating structure.
