The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, collaborating with the Regional Water Supply Company “Drini i Bardhë,” conducted ongoing efforts to clear unauthorized dumping sites situated along the Loxhë–Raushiq road. During a recent operation, teams addressed an illegal dump site that had partially caught fire, an incident reportedly set by local citizens. The Ministry confirmed that the fire was successfully contained before it could escalate.
According to the official announcement, the intervention targeted the burning dump, successfully halting the flames and preventing their spread to the gravel-covered surfaces flanking both sides of the roadway. The statement emphasized the successful management of the situation, noting that the rapid response was crucial in preventing environmental damage. These coordinated efforts underscore the ongoing commitment to maintaining cleanliness and ecological integrity along major transport routes.
The removal of such unauthorized waste accumulation points remains a priority for both the Ministry and the regional water utility. The incident highlighted the potential risks associated with improper waste disposal, particularly when combined with ignition sources. Authorities continue to monitor the area to prevent future occurrences and ensure that any debris or refuse is properly managed, thereby mitigating the risk of uncontrolled fires and further environmental contamination.
