The eastern suburbs of Fez, particularly the Bensouda area, are witnessing the spread of secret workshops operating under unclear conditions and far from the eyes of authorities, posing a threat to the health and safety of residents in nearby new neighborhoods.
Illegal Secret Workshops
According to field data, these unlicensed production units operate in fields and open areas, conducting suspicious activities without any environmental or health standards, turning quiet residential spaces into hotspots of environmental pollution and imminent health hazards.
Direct Threat to Residents
Residents have expressed strong dissatisfaction with foul odors and dense smoke emitted from these workshops, in addition to their toxic waste being disposed of randomly in adjacent agricultural lands. According to some affected individuals, this situation has become a primary cause of respiratory and skin diseases, especially among children and the elderly.
Accusations of Collusion
Local sources reported that some “influential figures of the suburbs” are behind these secret units, exploiting their influence to protect their interests at the expense of citizens’ health, while their dangerous activities are overlooked. The problem is exacerbated by urban expansion that has brought these workshops closer to new residential areas.
Calls for Urgent Investigation
Residents are demanding urgent intervention from local authorities and elected councils to close these informal units and launch a serious investigation into the parties involved in the continuation of this illegal activity. They also urge the Ministries of Health and Environment to act swiftly to stop this disaster before it worsens, emphasizing that official silence intensifies their daily suffering.
