As a step to accelerate the pace of ongoing restoration projects, a team of DM high officials has recently visited the heritage area of Hatta.
The team, which was on a visit to closely examine the needs and aspirations of the citizens of Hatta was headed by Eng Abdullah Raffia, Assistant Director General in charge of  General Support Services .
Accompanied by  Khalil Ali Hussain, Director, Municipality Centres Department ,Khaleefa Hareb, Assets Management Department and Juma  Khalifa Al Fuqaee, Director, General Maintenance Department, he held a meeting with  Omer Saeed Al Matyuee  who heads the Municipality Centre at Hatta and other concerned officials, on the projects being on and on which have to be commissioned for future.
While talking about the visit, Eng Abdullah Raffia said “ Hatta has been always on Municipality’s preference list. As we are keen on preserving our heritage and tradition we are committed to support the area.
After the meeting the team toured the various sites there, such as  the fountain project at the entrance ,the expansion of  event hall annexed to the traditional Masjid, abattoir, and the Hatta market. They found time to visit the  Hatta city and watched the dilapidated old houses to be renovated and  the worksite at Shareea Area where the team directed the concerned groups with  necessary instructions.
