CAPMAS ordered to sort population, facilities in Dabaa area

CAIRO, July 10 (MENA) - The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) has been ordered to conduct a complete sort of the population, buildings and facilities in Dabaa area, where a nuclear project will be established with the aim to achieve sustainable development.

The premier ordered the sort, said CAPMAS chairman Khairat Barakat, noting that "Dabaa" is a strategic national project.

The sort will help decision makers outline development plans for residents in that area, while taking into consideration the national project to be implemented in the coming stage, Barakat told MENA Wednesday.

Data collection should take about a month, he said, adding that results should be announced in October and submitted to the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) to take necessary action.
