Meanwhile, the Legal Affairs Sector in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor will withdraw the permits of four wedding halls in the coming days due to violations and problems amongst the heirs of the owner of one of the wedding halls, reports Al-Anba daily quoting sources.

Sources revealed the violations were uncovered in the wedding halls located in Sabahiya, Qadsiya and Rumaithiya while the heirs of the owner of a wedding hall in Sabahiya have failed to address problems among themselves.

In another development, sources said the ministry has formed an investigative panel to look into the alleged financial and administrative violations in Sulaibikhat Cooperative Society. And, in an unrelated development, Undersecretary of Ministry of Education Dr Haitham Al-Atari recently discussed the grievances presented by the teachers who were appointed on September 8, 2013 regarding their exclusion from the excellent performance bonus due to their joining date, reports Al- Qabas daily quoting educational sources. After affirming their right to the bonus because their first day of their work during the school year 2013/2014 was September 8, 2013, Dr Al-Atari decided to modify the date in order to include teachers who were appointed before September 9, 2013.

The sources said Al-Atari waited until Minister of Education Dr Bader Al-Essa returned from his vacation and presented the matter to him for officially approving the decision to amend the date.
