During his visit to the governorate, Talaat also inspected the surveillance system in the Crisis Room covering the city of Kafr El-Sheikh with cameras, to monitor the streets and work to provide excellent services to citizens.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology seeks to immediately detect anything happening on the streets the moment of its occurrence, and to deal with it accordingly, in coordination with the concerned agencies.

The minister’s visit will witness the opening of two post offices after their development. He will also inspect the School of Intellectual Education, visit the redeveloped Telecom Egypt customer service centre in Kafr El-Sheikh, and hold a video conference with a number of beneficiaries of the training programmes and services provided by the Ministry to the residents of the governorate.
