The camp model is not a military plan but a synergistic and verbal plan, and in this model, with the synergy of all institutions, it will help to solve the problems of social harms.

The dialogue is placed.

The discourse is in the discourse of Imam Ali and the Islamic Revolution

I am asked that this camp is the discourse of Mr. Zakani and the next mayor will not continue it, but this is the discourse of Imam Ali and the Islamic Revolution and we must try to continue it in the future. This discourse will continue until the day we are. According to the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, we try not to leave anything on the ground.

The third ban on admissions is for people under the age of 18 and generally the average age is 16 to 18, a small number of whom, although we have a capacity of 150 people for them, but we have not even referred two people in this field.

What is the current state of the greenhouses in the capital and do you plan to increase their number?

Currently, 22 hothouses are active in Tehran. In our opinion, we do not need to increase them at the moment, and the trend should be to reduce social harms due to the establishment of the camp, and gradually hothouses should be used to house seasonal workers and the homeless. In general, keep in mind that there is no place for drug addicts in the greenhouse and now these people are not kept in greenhouses.
