Speaking about the dam, Aydoğan Neighborhood Headman Halim Yavuz said, "'There are some problems with the wall referred to as 'Great Melen', and the DSİ is working on a project for them. It is likely to last until the end of 2025. After it is completed, necessary actions will be taken. Of course, the prolongation and non-completion of this causes great harm to the local people. Our roads are in very bad condition. Some of the connecting roads of certain neighborhoods pass through the dam. The prolongation of the dam harms us the most. As the former Minister Veysel Eroğlu said, this Melen Dam is the insurance of Istanbul, and it needs to be completed as soon as possible," he said.
