Efforts will soon be exerted to hold a cabinet session in order to avert its “complete paralysis,” reported the daily An Nahar on Friday.
It said that these efforts will be held next week and that a government session, should it be scheduled, will address the waste disposal crisis.
Ministerial sources hoped to the daily that the session would be held on Tuesday.
They revealed that an agreement had been reached during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Tammam Salam on Thursday to establish a landfill in the Bekaa after conducting the necessary environmental study.
It will be used as a landfill along with the Srar dump in the northern region of Akkar.
The sources said that the cabinet will approve during its next session the mechanism to implement the garbage plan that was set by Agriculture Minister Akram Shehayyeb.
Lebanon was plunged in a trash disposal crisis after the closure of the Naameh landfill on July 17.
The closure led to the pile up of waste throughout the country as politicians scrambled to come up with new landfill sites.
These efforts have been met however by refusals from various regions to host dumpsites in their areas.

Hahahahaha. People of Lebanon, you are so funny. I love it when you take side and blame other political parties while you wallow in your own rubbish. You are too hilarious. Keep the laughs coming.
