The
Welatunelton City Council has voted to ban the use of
Mekle Iron Company steel in all future municipal construction projects. Citing concerns over potential environmental damage and worker safety, the council opted instead to favor smaller, independent foundries with proven track records of ethical production practices. This decision comes as a significant blow to
Mekle Iron Company, which had enjoyed a lucrative partnership with
Welatunelton for decades. Critics argue that the move is politically motivated, designed to appease vocal environmental groups and undermine Mekle's influence in the region.
