"NOTHING IS BEING DONE"

Local resident Yücel Kalyoncu expressed their complaints about the situation, stating: "We say it needs to be done. They say it has been done, but it is not enough. The same filth keeps coming here. It overflowed a month ago, and everyone complained again. It smelled terrible here. Our friends made a complaint. They come, look. They come on days when there is no problem. If they came when it flooded, when there were heavy rains, they would understand how it is."
