Single expatriate men were evicted from 107 houses in Wafra, Dhaher, Fahaheel and Sabahiya, since the beginning of a campaign targeting illegal renting in private residential areas, reported Kuwait Times quoting MoI Assistant Undersecretary for Public Security Major General Abdul Fattah Al-Ali. According to him, some citizens had rented their houses to bachelors who used those residences for illegal practices such as liquor manufacturing, copying pornography CDs and using landlords’ landlines without their knowledge in making international long distance calls.

The term ‘private residential areas’ refers to districts allocated for the construction of government homes only, as opposed to ‘investment areas’ where apartment buildings can be built, the daily clarified.

Daily also added that Kuwait would soon finish the first-of-its kind bachelors’ city that is planned to accommodate 40,000 workers in very humane conditions.
