Yerevan enveloped in smog and burning smell 

ArmInfo.Yerevan is enveloped in smog caused by a fire at the city's garbage dump in Nubarashen.

The air in the city is permeated with the smell of burning and  chemicals. In the midst of public discontent, Yerevan Mayor Tigran  Avinyan made another statement. "By dawn, the fire at the Nubarashen  landfill was nearly extinguished. However, heavy smoke  still  lingers. Currently, approximately 20 pieces of specialized equipment  are deployed at the landfill: cranes and trucks from the Rescue  Service, the Yerevan Garbage Removal and Sanitation utility, and  contractors are working to cover the area with soil to eliminate the  smoke. In the past two days, 248 trucks of soil have been delivered  to the landfill," the mayor wrote on his Facebook page.

According to him, to monitor the Nubarashen landfill and ensure  compliance with safety regulations, preparatory work has begun to  install an outdoor lighting system, CCTV cameras, and fences. A  strict security regime has been implemented at the entrance.

The fire broke out on the night of October 10. The Yerevan mayor is  confident that it was a deliberate arson and promised to hold all  responsible parties accountable. Environmentalists believe the city  is currently experiencing an environmental disaster, with citizens  forced to breathe toxic fumes, thereby harming their health.
