Seoul Metropolitan Government s plan to host a town hall meeting with the residents of the city s western district of Mapo to explain how the district was chosen to house another waste incinerator plant at Nuri Dream Square in the Sangam-dong area came to a halt as angry residents raised their voices and protested against the city authorities for the decision. The meeting turned into a melee as upset protestors fiercely opposed the plan and prevented the city authorities from running the event.
The introduction of a new waste incineration plant in Seoul s Mapo District has placed the city and district government at odds with each other. While the district, which already has an incineration plant, is against having another one, the city government says it has chosen the spot according to a fair and official procedure.
