Villaggio mall reopening 'close'
More than three months after a fatal fire shuttered Villaggio, the mall appears to be taking one step closer to reopening its doors.
Two representatives from separate retail groups have confirmed to Doha News that they have begun restocking inventories and reassigning employees to the mall, though they add that no official reopening date has been set.
Meanwhile, a criminal court hearing to determine responsibility for the May 28 fire that killed 19 people, including 13 children, will reportedly be held on Thursday.
But when reached for comment, the Public Prosecution did not confirm that the trial will take place this week.

So because it's not being reported by either of these media sources that means what's being reported by Doha news must mean it can't be true then!!

Interesting that you say it's a fake report. Enlighten us then!

You stated their report is fake. I asked you to enlighten us. Why do you think it's a fake report?
You believe most ex pats read the Gulf! I'm sure a lot do read it but I think you'll find that Doha news has a far greater following now and is growing.
We are all afforded an opinion luckily and mine is to have the option of all sources!

I am way more inclined to follow Doha News than any of the Qatar daily newspapers... having worked for one for 5years, I can vouch for the fact that they print absolute c r a p on their their pages....

That's the irony of the COPY & PASTE topics posted on QL ...we always say: "please provide the link" to verify etc.
So, they "copy and paste" and provide the link...khalas? Is that all?
Ql is a discussion board wherein one posts and share views and opinions. If one asks for "thoughts" about the topic, you should be able to discuss, join in the discussion....not just post and leave.
I say, lets change qatarliving.com to "dohanews_extension_site.com"

My sister works as a ...My sister worked as a pharmacist and was re-located from villagio to a temp pharmacy until villagio re-opens. She can speak facts being as she is waiting for that. she is back now at the villagio pharmacy doing prepares only, but only the QCD knows when it will be fully opened once The Villaggio mall will be given permit to reopen for business as soon as its ventilation, fire alarm systems and safety measures are fully compliant with the official requirements.
that as soon as the tests conducted by the mall’s management and the CDD are passed, a permit will be given for its reopening.
However, in case of failure of any tests conducted of the systems, the opening will be delayed until the issue is completely addressed, she said to just wait for the QCD to publicly announce it!!. That is not ok to post false storie.... They will reopen the shopping mall as soon as possible, but it is also keen to ensure that it complies 100% with safety standards.
the QCD stressed that no permit to reopen the complex will be granted before that target is met.
