The regime raises residency fees within the university city in Damascus

ARK News… The Assad regime raised residency fees within the university city in Damascus, rising from 22,000 to 88,000 Syrian pounds.

The director of the university city, Abbas Sandouq, told pro-government media, “These fees will benefit the services provided within the city,” adding that “the fees that were previously charged are very symbolic and do not cover the city’s services, in addition to the fact that the investment amounts were not returned to the city, as part of it was for the city and the rest for the University of Damascus.”

He claimed that repairs to toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens that had been closed for years had begun in some residential units, and a large part of them had been completed, in addition to repairing two elevators that had been stuck for a long period of time and repairing two generators.

He claimed that "university fees or investment amounts are collected and disbursed the following year. Despite this, raising fees will have a positive role in improving the services provided by the city, and students will feel the difference next year in all residential units."
