Due to the smell felt in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, two schools were evacuated as a precaution, and an investigation was conducted at the state hospital. No results have yet been obtained regarding the source of the mysterious odor.
BAD SMELL DISTURBED THE RESIDENTS
A smell that spread in several neighborhoods of Büyükçekmece around 14:30 disturbed the local residents. The odor, which resembled natural gas, led to the precautionary evacuation of Emlak Konut Anadolu High School and Mimar Sinan Middle School shortly before the end of the class hours. IGDAŞ teams, who arrived upon notification, conducted an investigation at Mimar Sinan State Hospital and the two schools. After the investigation by the teams, it was learned that the smell was not caused by natural gas. The cause of the odor is still being investigated.
"WE ARE VERY DISTURBED"
Bedirhan Söylemez, who came to visit his grandfather at the hospital, said, "There is a bit of a smell in the streets. We are very disturbed. It smells like burnt natural gas. I noticed the smell between 14:30 and 15:00. As far as I know, it was present earlier, but it continues. The smell is disturbing; there is a bit of a burning sensation in the nose," he said.
