The municipality of Al-Kafour has issued a statement addressing the escalating issues related to a tire recycling facility situated on the outskirts of the town. The situation reached a critical point where public tolerance could no longer be sustained, leading to a recent public pressure that successfully compelled the closure of the Al-Khansa plant. The plant's operations had posed a severe threat to public safety, as they disregarded essential environmental and health standards.
