AMMAN — Municipal Affairs Minister Walid Masri on Saturday said that any construction exceeding the violation limit of 10 per cent should be demolished according to the provisions of the Cities and Villages Regulation Law of 1966, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

During a filed visit to a number of municipalities in Irbid, Masri said that the new buildings system, which went into effect some months ago, came to control the construction violations and not for collecting money.

He also said that the government has paid JD70 million to cover debts of municipalities and extended them another JD30 million to support their infrastructure projects, Petra said.
