The Directorate of Public Works (DPW) recently implemented several developmental infrastructure projects in the Central Area based on instructions of His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
The project aimed at constructing and developing infrastructure projects matching the highest international standards.
