After the explosion of one of the kilns at the Explosive Substances
Plant in Mjekws, Elbasan, the Commune Council members held an urgent
speech. They held a meeting for discussing about the problems that
creates this plant for the community.

According to “Shqip”, they have complained about the strong explosion that has taken place this Wednesday, asking immediate measures to be taken. The Director of the Mjekes Explosive Substances Plant, Daniel Karanxha, did not cooperate with the commune.

This Thursday, the councilors read a request that Karanxha addressed to the Commune, for stopping the illegal constructions near the Mjekes plant, and that the informal ones should be demolished. The community complains that Karanxha has never cooperated with the commune and that the activity that is being conducted in the plant has no environmental permission. This has not been approved by the Commune Council.

They say that the villages near Mjekes suffer acoustic pollution. The head of Shirgjan commune, Mustafa Shehu, has constantly asked a meeting with Karanxha, and the latter has not replied.

The Director of the Plant, Daniel Karanxha has denied that the kiln for the ammunition elimination had exploded. He declared that the kiln has had a defect with the filters, and that the work is continuing normally. However, the media were not allowed inside the plant.
