Brigadier Ali Al-Ustadh, Director of Operations Department in the Public Security Sector at the Interior Ministry, has announced the establishment of 23 fixed security checkpoints across all governorates in preparation for Kuwait’s National and Liberation Day celebrations. These security measures align with directives from Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, emphasizing heightened vigilance.

During a televised interview, Brigadier Al-Ustadh revealed that three primary security checkpoints have been strategically positioned at:

• Gulf Street (opposite the Scientific Center)
• Bneid Al-Gar
• Julai’ah

Additionally, extra security personnel will be deployed in residential areas to ensure comprehensive coverage. These checkpoints are equipped to handle medical emergencies, featuring coordinated efforts with Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) and Kuwait Municipality, ensuring swift response to incidents.

Brigadier General Mohammed Bader Al-Gharib, Director of Public Relations at KFF, has reaffirmed the Fire Force’s readiness for the 64th National Day and 34th Liberation Day celebrations. According to a press release, the KFF has implemented strict fire safety protocols to safeguard celebration sites and gathering areas.

In addition, KFF has commenced preparations for the holy month of Ramadan, ensuring the safety of mosques and prayer halls, particularly during Taraweeh prayers, which attract a large number of worshippers. Fire safety equipment at these locations is being inspected to maintain operational efficiency.

To ensure seamless safety enforcement, 18 strategic security sites have been designated across Kuwait’s six governorates. The KFF has deployed:

• Fixed security points at celebration and gathering sites
• Rapid intervention units for emergency response
• Standby alerts for all fire stations to enhance preparedness

Furthermore, the Prevention Sector has conducted thorough safety inspections at all designated celebration venues to ensure compliance with fire prevention measures. Brigadier General Al-Gharib has urged citizens and residents to maintain clear access routes for firefighting vehicles, as congestion at event sites may hinder emergency response efforts.
