The three initiatives implemented in cooperation with the local municipalities and the state-run institution, are: Irrigation canals (1200m) in the plains of Kfardan; a vital agricultural road in Hadat Baalbaq that contributes to the town’s development and a tobacco irrigation pipeline to support the basic agriculture in the town. On the occasion, Siklawi announced the distribution shortly of 100 contributions to assist high school students in the Beqaa area, in addition to a number of undertakings under preparation in the villages of Nabha, Kaddam, Jaba’, Yammooneh, Harabta, Mekneh and Bayt Meshayk. Siklawi brought to light some of the projects funded by the Regie in collaboration with the municipalities of these towns: Dayr al Ahmar (water supply extensions and Christmas tree decorations); Boudai (water pond installation); Shlifa (water supply extensions); Hawsh Tal Safiya (drilling of a water well, extending irrigation canals, and a water pump); Hadat Baalbaq (construction and rehabilitation of an agricultural road); Btadi’ (irrigations canals); Shaath (irrigation canals); Ram (purchase of an ambulance); Falawi (purchase of a bock); Taraya (water supply extension); Bashwat (water pond); Kfardan (irrigation canals) and Baalbaq city (artesian water wells). Boasting its solid plan of action, Siklawi said the Regie “is practically the only public institution competing with the private sector.
