Activists from Joy of Giving Association continued on Saturday collecting trash in the region of Baabda despite the fact that the Security Forces attempted to prevent them from doing so.
Later during the day, the Security Forces clarified that they called upon the activists to coordinate with the governor of Mount Lebanon prior to removing the piled-up garbage from the streets.
The Security Forces also noted that the activists resumed their activity after they coordinated with the said governor.
For his part, the governor of Mount Lebanon, Fouad Flayfel, told LBCI that he supports the effort exerted by Joy of Giving Association, urging it to pre-coordinate with him.
