AMMAN — The Ministry of Agriculture and relevant institutions have removed buildings established on forest land in Madaba and Ajloun governorates, the Agriculture Ministry spokesperson, Nimer Haddadin, said Tuesday.
The ministry replanted the land with trees, dug a well and obliged the violators to write a pledge at the administrative governor’s office not to repeat the assault, Haddadin was quoted by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, as saying.
He added that a specialised committee examines violations on land before relevant institutions remove them once they are proved.
