Agadir Phases Out Animal-Drawn Carts in Urban Areas, Seeks Alternatives

This decision was made by the council during its regular session in October, reports Al Akhbar, stressing that the elected officials have opted for a methodological approach. In this sense, an awareness campaign was launched on Wednesday, for the benefit of the owners of animal-drawn carts, in order to list them and then implement alternative solutions.

On this occasion, the various parties involved in this campaign visited the sites and depots of these animal-drawn carts set up in the outskirts of the city, for the success of the operation within the framework of an open dialogue between the two parties.

The ban will initially affect certain neighborhoods of the city before being generalized to all urban areas of the capital of Souss, specifies the same source.

This initiative comes a few days after the city of Casablanca banned animal-drawn carts, causing the discontent of a large number of them.
