The governorate took that action following the prosecution's recommendations, to prevent balcony collapse incidents in such buildings in Alexandria, the statement read.

It also took other measures, including obligating the administrative authority in cases of imminent danger to evacuate the buildings immediately and take all necessary precautions and actions to protect lives and property.

Meanwhile, the prosecution affirmed its continuous monitoring of all districts across the governorate to ensure the implementation of these measures.

On 21 November, the Public Prosecution directed the governorate to send specialists across its districts to identify dilapidated buildings, review their licenses, and take the necessary legal measures.

Moreover, the prosecution instructed the governorate to assess the actions and decisions made regarding the demolition or renovation of these buildings and identify those responsible for neglecting to implement such decisions.

It also directed the governorate to take all necessary measures to secure these buildings and their surroundings, protecting citizens' lives and public and private properties.

The prosecution's directives came due to the increasing collapse incidents of balconies and parts of dilapidated buildings in Alexandria, resulting in loss of lives and property.
