One caller from that area said, during a telephone conversation, “There are a large number of workers living in the neighbourhood in the Qadisiyah area, which is designated for families, however workers spread among the buildings and dwellings, in a way that poses a threat to the families residing in there."
She added, “There are people who unlawfully rent to bachelors and workers, behind the knowledge of the municipality in Qadisiyah and in other areas as well.”
