Another case of burning tires and cables was recorded today near the bridge over the Mat River, in the Milot-Lezhë segment, bringing back concerns about pollution and safety in this area.

According to reports, the thick smoke caused by the burning has created immediate concern for residents and passersby, directly affecting air quality and reducing visibility on the road. This situation significantly increases the risk of accidents, especially on a road segment with high traffic.

Residents of the area say that this phenomenon is recurring and has been going on for a long time, becoming a serious environmental and health problem. The burning of tires and cables releases hazardous substances into the air, which can have direct consequences for the health of the community.

Just two days ago, the State Police prosecuted two citizens caught red-handed burning cables near the banks of the Mat River, which indicates the continuity of this phenomenon and the need for stricter preventive measures.
