Dozens of residents of 6 villages in the Postribë area of Shkodra in northern Albania, today blocked the main road in protest of the polluted tap water that is believed to have been caused by construction of a quarry plant.
They accuse the Ministry of Environment and the municipality of Shkodra of giving permission for the construction of a quarry near the water supply which is now affecting their water supply.
Protesters said the water is unconsumable for hundreds of families in these areas so they are forced to buy it.
They warn the protests will escalate if the ministry and the municipality do not take measures to return clean water for the residents of the affected villagers.
