Construction works preparing the Srar landfill in northern Akkar district have been halted on Wednesday after protesters and several students held a sit-in protesting the move, the state-run National News Agency said.
A number of campaigners erected tents in Akkar's area of al-Abboudieh and school students held a sit-in in the area to halt the works of bulldozers amid heavy security presence, NNA added.
The security forces who have worked under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel Moustafa al-Ayyoubi along with other senior officers put an end to the dispute that erupted between the residents and the workers.
The protesters reject government plans to set up a “sanitary landfill” in the town of Srar.
