Based on the Municipal Council's decision, a team from the Ministry of Electricity and Water is going after the telecom towers that are violating the law in private residential areas. According to Resolution No. 121/2017, which forbids the extension of electric power without the ministry's approval, the presence of telecommunication towers in private residential areas and the subsequent violations related to electricity extensions and the increase in pressure on the network are considered serious violations.

This is the first time that such a step has been made to halt the violations of these towers in private residential areas, according to local reports. According to the report, power was turned off for a number of these towers after warnings were issued and notices instructing their removal were put up. The Kuwait Municipality, the Ministry of Health, the Directorate General for Civil Aviation, and the Ministry of Communication must all provide their consent before these towers can be built in residential structures.
