It was another slow evening on the airwaves yesterday: Assiut Governor Essam Saad was on Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 7:54) to discuss the flooding of a graveyard in the governorate caused by the collapse of one of the cooling basins at the West Assiut power station. Angry residents have criticized the response by the local authority and called on it to provide compensation. Saad said that the situation was being handled effectively and that the governorate is willing to compensate those who have been affected by the flooding.

MEANWHILE- The head of the Industrial Development Authority Mohamed Abdel Karim said on Al Hayah Al Youm that the authority is preparing to launch the second phase of its national industrial development strategy (watch, runtime: 6:29). Karim didn’t provide details about the authority’s plans.
