DON'T SHUT US DOWN: SCRAP IRON WORKERS PLEAD

Operators in the scrap iron industry were unaware of the government's implementation of a 6-month ban on scrap metal on Friday. Hours prior to this announcement on Monday afternoon, workers pleaded with the government, not to shut down their entire industry by taking such a move. They lamented that they'd be unable to pay their bills and care for their families.


Meanwhile, the representing association was awaiting a meeting with the Energy Minister.
