The beach, polluted with a heap of garbage and litter, left behind by people visiting the area, has remained unattended for weeks and was posing an environmental threat before the Sri Lankan troops undertook the project which spans a distance of about 1 km along the beach.
Lebanon’s armed forces and representatives of Naqoura Municipal Council. Village Head in Naqoura and veterans in the area supported the project.
