Uncovering Illegal Quarrying in Raashin: Lebanon Debate Investigates Environmental Violations

“Lebanon Debate”

After the mayor of Raashin in the Keserwan district, Youssef Akiki, obtained a license to build a property in the town, Lebanon Debate learned that “President Akiki brought bulldozers to the vicinity of the property’s construction site to uproot rocks and sell them, and thus the president has established a rock quarry under the pretext of construction, and this “It is considered against the law.”

According to the information, “The Ministry of Environment had previously acted and ordered the project to be stopped, but eyewitnesses confirm that Akiki is still throwing rocks from the lands surrounding his property onto his land under the pretext of construction. He is also taking dozens of trucks of rocks out of the area and selling them.”

The information indicated that “despite the complaints that reached the Ashkout faction, it did not take the necessary legal measures against the mayor. On the contrary, it covers his actions that violate the law.”

Accordingly, after a complaint against the Ashkout faction, Lebanon Debate learned that “the Office of the Information Division in Keserwan intervened, wrote a report of seizure against the quarry, and took the necessary legal action.”

However, the question that arises is: How can an illegal quarry in the center of Keserwan, and in the eyes of a platoon of the Internal Security Forces, operate without licenses for a long period without accountability or oversight?

Accordingly, the details of what is happening in Raashin were drawn up by the Minister of Environment, Nasser Yassin, and the Minister of Interior, Bassam Mawlawi, and “the deputies of Kesrouan Al-Futuh were asked to intervene quickly to limit these environmental massacres and put an end to every transgressor and violator to serve as an example to others.”
