Head of the Progressive Socialist Party MP Walid Jumblatt declared Saturday that he categorically rejects the establishment of a cement plant in the region of Ain Dara, stressing that he will participate in person in any popular movement staged by the residents to express objection to such project.
During his meeting with a delegation of Ain Dara residents and official figures at his residence in Mokhtara, Jumblatt listened to the citizens’ concerns over the possible approval of “the project of death” planned to be established by the Fattoush family in the town.
The delegation stressed that such a factory, if built, would leave a great damage on the health, agricultural and environmental levels.
In this regard, Jumblatt had previously declared his rejection to this plant, which is set to be built in an area located at the outskirts of Al-Shouf Cedar Nature Reserve.
