Damascus, (SANA) The government announced Thursday SYP 4 billion allocated to improve the service, development and industrial sectors in Damascus Countryside.

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi during a tour to a number of factories and public establishments in the province.

The Premier checked the situation of the General Company for Cable Industry and the Glass Factory in al-Qadam area and inspected the ongoing work of rehabilitating al-Ghezlaniyeh mill in order to be put into service as soon as possible.

The tour is part of a series of visits that the government has embarked on with a view to establishing field communication with all service institutions across Syria.
