The director general of TVTC in Madinah, Eid Al-Raddadi, thanked the governor of Madinah and his deputy for their ongoing support for the region’s youth. He explained that the initiative will help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing electrical, sanitation, refrigeration, and air-conditioning services through four teams, each comprising 30 members.
