A LANDLORD who has set up fishing nets blocking access to the sea in Malkiya has been given a two-week ultimatum to remove them. The move follows complaints by villages to the Royal Court through parliament economic and financial committee vice-chairman Jassim Abdula'al.The nets were allegedly put there by a private landowner, who earlier built an illegal wall in the same location.
He was ordered to knock down the wall by the Royal Court in July.
The nets, which cordon off a section of the sea that backs onto the landowner's house, have been there for the past two months.
The Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad has ordered an investigation into the case, based on a request from the Royal Court.
Commission fisheries director Jassim Al Qaseer has sent a verbal warning to the landlord, who is currently on a trip abroad.
A meeting between the landlord and the commission will be held when he returns, said Mr Abdula'al.
He said the landlord should better listen to the government or else legal action with be taken against.
"Mr Al Qaseer has told me the landlord has been given two weeks to remove the nets or else they would be towed away," he told the GDN.
People living in the area demonstrated earlier this year after the illegal wall first appeared.
One of the protests calling for it to be removed turned violent when demonstrators clashed with police.
The landowner built the four-metre high wall nearly 700m into the sea - even though his property ended at the beach.
The fishing nets extended around 400m into the sea, said Mr Abdula'al. He accused the landowner of trying to stop residents having access to the sea.
"The intentions of the landowner are clear and show that he wants the land in the sea one way or another," he said.
"This should stop because it is irritating residents and we don't want any ugly incidents like what had happened previously to be repeated."
