DOHA: Private Engineering Office has rescued 126 vehicles from the Sealine and Al Udaid areas since August 2012, Al Sharq reported yesterday.
Wheels of majority of vehicles were sunk deep into sand on the beach and desert area and some vehicles lost their way at night, according to Salah Hassan Al Kuwari, Director, Private Engineering Office.
“Many people face problems in desert and beach area because they are ignorant of the nature of the area. It creates more problems at night,” he said.
The Private Engineering Office is also planning to introduce a special number for people to call the rescue service near Sealine and Al Udaid area because of the increase of visitors to the area.
More than 600 winter camps were set up in Sealine and 57 at Al Udaid in this season.
A plan by Private Engineering Office and Al Wakra Municipality is under way to develop an area with facilities for families, said Al Kuwari.
