The municipality of Bnei Brak denies: we did not approve work at the metro on Shabbat

After the approval of the plans for the M2 metro line intended to pass through Bnei Brak and the publication of the agreement signed between NTA and the municipality that they will allow the works even on Shabbat, the municipality responds: "The works will be carried out only on weekdays"

The Committee for National Infrastructures approved today (Monday) the plans for the M2 metro line planned to connect Holon to Petah Tikva. The committee emphasized that it was decided that the line would also pass within the boundaries of the city of Bnei Brak and not only on the outskirts of the city in order to provide an important transportation solution for the city's residents.

This clarification is important to prevent complaints and demonstrations from the city's residents about the work expected on Saturday to promote the metro project. According to an agreement signed between NTA and the municipality of Bnei Brak, the works were defined as supervised work so that they could be carried out on Saturdays. This is because the mining machine must work continuously and stopping it could endanger lives due to fear of collapse.

However, after the various publications, the municipality of Bnei Brak announced that "the municipality denies the trending and completely wrong report, the opposite is true: the metro works will be carried out only on weekdays as was clearly agreed in the conditions of the permit and specifically stated".

"In the aforementioned agreement that was approved by the city council and in the opinion of the city rabbis, a section was inserted that refers to the reality of the danger to life that may occur in the excavation areas, and the emergency operations required to prevent the fear of danger to life, and only this activity was allowed and conditioned under the supervision of the city rabbis. The issue appears clearly in the agreement that was brought to the city council and won the overwhelming approval of the council members".
