The head of the Construction, Transportation and Traffic Commission of Shiraz's Islamic City Council criticized the pursuit of annexing villages into the city's boundaries despite opposition from council members. He called for a thorough examination of the social, demographic, and urban planning consequences of this decision, stating: 'This matter has been brought before the council twice and has not been approved; therefore, the municipality should not pursue it without considering the council's opinion.'
