This decision comes after thorough inspections and public concerns over increased water pollution, including higher turbidity and significant changes in water quality.
The project will remain on hold until all corrective measures are implemented to meet strict environmental compliance, EAD confirmed.
Authorities in the emirate shut down establishments if they pose risk to public health. Recently, two restaurants were shut down in Abu Dhabi for violating food safety laws.
