The Chief Cleric of the Imam Hussein Holy Shrine, Sheikh Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbalaey, has supervised the ongoing work in the al-Aqeelah Courtyard Project , praising all the efforts put in by the skilled workers in order to flawlessly achieve what is considered to be one of the largest projects of the Holy Shrine.
During a meeting held in the project site with Sheikh al-Karbalaey, Engineer Abbas al-Bayati said, “We were able to solve several problems and overcome obstacles like avoiding the use of imported cement for promoting the use of the Iraqi industry. Initially, this was a drawback because the donating company of the project had brought Iranian-made cement. Fortunately, we are able to overcome this problem and we are continuing the work and progressing to advanced stages.”
“Lying on a 52,000-square-meter land, this project is immense. It contains administrative and service complexes as well as facilities to ease the flow of pilgrims during the massive pilgrimages,” added al-Bayati.
