Authorities in Settat, Morocco, have confiscated over four thousand used tires as part of a preventative security plan. The joint operation, involving local authorities, national security forces, and municipal services, was overseen by the city’s Pasha. The seized tires were placed in a municipal impound lot. This action aims to prevent potential incidents and maintain public safety during the upcoming Ashura celebrations, a significant religious observance. Ashura is often marked by the lighting of tires, which can pose fire hazards and disrupt public order. The operation represents the first phase of a broader security strategy implemented by local officials. Further details regarding the duration of the operation were not immediately available.
