Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 22, 1994

After praying, exercising and listening to the news, I walked on the beach. We ate breakfast together. I read the bulletins.

Mohsen came. Regarding the expensive implementation of some important oil, mining and metal projects such as Hormozgan, Arak, Abu Dhar platform and alloy steel factory, he said that due to the cheap currency, they were not given much importance in the past and now the situation is being corrected. At the same time, sometimes those who see their interests in danger with the investigations of [the President's] special inspection [office] react.

Mr. Yazdan Panah and Al-Veiri came. They requested to speed up the notification of the new regulations of the free zones and announced the approval of several protected zones in the last days of last year, which should remain secret until the time of implementation. They gave a report on the status of free zones. I used the sea.

In the evening, I visited the under-construction town of "Sadaf", whose land is to be sold. I also saw underground water sources that were discovered in the form of aqueducts and aquifers. It was decided to restore it to its original condition to find out whether it was for water or underground defense communications.

We visited new green spaces and many flower gardens around the main streets of the island and agricultural research fields and flower and plant breeding, which is interesting. The lighting of the trees and the installation of loudspeakers on the island and the playing of happy songs and hymns and the good and clean air have refreshed the island.

The new Shia port and mosque and the streets were also visited. I also visited a new construction project that builds wooden houses; The wood is brought from America in the form of prefabricated parts; I thought it was very expensive.
