During a parliamentary session, Mansouri stated the ministry is fully aware of the slow pace of legal and administrative procedures hindering the completion of these crucial documents. The delays represent a major challenge to urban development efforts across the country. The minister did not detail specific causes for the complications, but indicated they stem from bureaucratic processes.
