Cabinet approves bill regulating firefighting affairs

Damascus, SANA – The Cabinet approved on Tuesday a bill regulating the affairs of firefighting and a proposal for permitting the transportation of cotton crops outside administrative borders.

Chairing the Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Wael al-Halaqi called for providing the requirements of agricultural production, particularly seed and fertilizer, in addition to ensuring that grain mills are functioning.
