What the sources establish

Cyprus Mail is the sole inspected reporting origin. It attributes assessment concerns to committee members and describes differing accounts over consideration of university observations. No committee transcript, scientific assessment, pollution measurements or new court decision was inspected. Earlier legal arguments and protests remain historical context, not findings of harm; repeated reports from the same newsroom are not independent corroboration. The catalogue does not independently establish beneficial ownership. The original October 2 date-only event time and representative district marker remain unchanged. No pupils, protest routes or plant coordinates are added.
