Authorities in Mediouna province have mobilized in anticipation of a royal visit by King Mohammed VI, expected in the coming days.
Local officials began work Saturday to prepare streets and roads in areas the monarch is likely to pass through, particularly in Tit Mellil and the commune of Sidi Hajjaj Oued Hassar. Crews were seen repaving roads, repainting curbs and repairing streetlights late into the night, according to witnesses.
On Sunday, municipal teams in Tit Mellil and Sidi Hajjaj continued the preparations, signaling that the royal visit is imminent.
The visit is expected to include the inauguration of social projects in Sidi Hajjaj and the entrance to the highway in Tit Mellil, the provincial capital.
On Tuesday, the king is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for a major regional complex dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and reintegration of people with mental illnesses. The facility, which will cover 20 hectares of state-owned land in Sidi Hajjaj Oued Hassar, will complement the existing Dar Al Khair center that provides shelter and psychiatric care on the outskirts of Casablanca.
The project is backed by several institutions, including the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, the Ministry of Solidarity and Social Integration, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, local and regional councils, and the Casablanca Housing and Equipment Company. Authorities have earmarked nearly 3 billion dirhams (about $290 million) for its construction.
