Meya residents oppose new cemeteries
The residents of Al-Mayyeh and Myeh village have filed a complaint with the Minister of Interior and Municipalities against a proposed project to establish cemeteries for non-residents on land parcel No. 467 in the area, which is owned by Sidon Association. They clarified that the excavation and leveling works carried out on the property—located in a low-lying area surrounded by water channels—have not received any official permits. There are concerns that the land might be designated for burial sites. The municipality refused to issue permits for these activities, and both its director and religious leaders expressed their worry about the project's impact on the safety and well-being of the village. They emphasized that their opposition is not against the establishment of cemeteries in general, but specifically against the creation of burial sites for non-residents on private land. They called for a halt to the work and urged careful handling of the situation to prevent the imposition of a new reality that could affect the identity and interests of the residents.
