A massive security operation led by the Ministry of Finance to evict Souq Sharq today, and its management was transferred from the current owner, the “National Real Estate Company,” to the Wafra Real Estate Company, affiliated with the Public Institute for Social Security, in anticipation of its auction.

To ensure that work was running to its fullest extent and that commercial activity did not stop when the Wafra Real Estate Company officially took over the main control room and management offices, maintenance, security and cleaning workers of the company attended the market during the handover process. Al-Qabas daily reports.

With the absence of a court order to hand over the market, the officials of "National Real Estate" refused to hand over the administrative offices, vowing to turn to the judiciary if stormed. According to Thamer Al-Mutawa, representative of the National Real Estate Company, the Ministry of Finance stormed Souq Sharq illegally.

According to him, it would be more useful to wait for the judgment of the judiciary before breaking the locks rather than breaking them.
