While the number of sinkholes formed mostly in the Karapınar district of the Konya Plain has increased in recent years, the ponds and wetlands in the basin have dried up and disappeared. The effects of drought are also manifested through surface cracks. The depth of the surface cracks, which formed 15-20 kilometers away from the city center, can sometimes reach 4-5 meters. One of these surface cracks also occurred in the Akören neighborhood.

LENGTH OF THE CRACK IS 2 KILOMETERS

Yusuf İlaslan, the headman of Akören neighborhood, which borders the Ereğli district, stated that the residents in the area are worried due to the surface cracks in the neighborhood, saying, "The surface cracks are approximately 2 kilometers long and 17 meters wide, with 4 cracks progressing in parallel. They are widening and deepening every day. The safety of our citizens' lives and property is under threat. These surface cracks have now reached the borders of Ereğli. A road connecting the neighborhoods in the area to the highway passes through the location of the surface cracks. There was a collapse on the road before, and municipal teams came and repaired it. If the ground cracks and the road collapses, it could lead to irreversible consequences. I invite the authorities to come here as soon as possible, to investigate, and to take precautions. What more is being waited for? This area is a place that contributes significantly to the national economy, known for its black carrots and tomatoes," he said.
