BEIRUT: Deputy Parliament Speaker Farid Makari Thursday said a decision to install a wastewater treatment plant near a residential neighborhood in Anfeh, north Lebanon, was an “environmental disaster.”
Makari, himself from Anfeh, stressed that he stands by fellow villagers who reject the plant’s construction, calling it “totally inappropriate and an environmental disaster because it is close to peoples’ homes.”
The site chosen by the Council for Development and Reconstruction, according to Makari, also has access to clean water which in turn has benefits for residents of Anfeh and its environs.
The location is also considered a “precious tourist attraction,” Makari added.
He urged the CDR to reconsider its decision and choose a different site for the proposed plant, stressing that there is an alternative inside the industrial area.
