Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said Cairo’s cemeteries of the immortals are set to be an alternative for Salah Salem graves, where parks or roads will be built.
The Premier made his remarks on Saturday at a press conference following an inspection tour of the Salah Salem graves.
The Prime Minister was touring a number of Historic Cairo’s areas, where he was accompanied by Local Development Minister Hesham Amna, Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities Minister Assem el Gazar and Cairo Governor Khaled Abdel Aal.
Under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s directives on upgrading these areas, it is necessary to relocate the cemeteries to start reshaping and developing the areas, Madbouly said, stressing that no buildings will be built over the areas of the old cemeteries.
Madbouly pointed out that Sisi’s directives aim to establish the cemeteries of the immortals to honor the great figures who sacrificed their lives to defend Egypt, the premier said.
