During a demolition work within the scope of urban transformation in Avcılar, a workplace adjacent to the building and numerous apartments were damaged. While Mehmet Adıyeke, who also used his home as a workplace, was lying on the sofa, the wall of the apartment collapsed. Adıyeke said, "The demolition was started without any warning, without taking security measures, and without even ensuring the evacuation of people."
The incident occurred on Monday night, August 24, in Merkez Neighborhood. According to the information obtained, demolition work with an excavator and breaker began on a building within the scope of urban transformation. While Mehmet Adıyeke, who also used his home as a workplace, was lying on the sofa, the wall of the adjacent apartment collapsed. Adıyeke evacuated the residents of the building. During the demolition, damage occurred to the workplace and numerous apartments in the building. While a report was being filed regarding the incident, it was learned that Adıyeke and those who suffered financial damage in the building would file complaints.
'DEMOLITION WAS STARTED WITHOUT EVACUATING PEOPLE' Workplace owner Mehmet Adıyeke said, "Unfortunately, during the urban transformation demolition carried out on August 24 at the address where I am located for both residential and commercial purposes, my workplace and many apartments here came to this state. Moreover, the demolition was started without any warning, without taking any security measures, and without even ensuring the evacuation of people. Despite calling the municipality many times, we saw that the demolition continued hours later, even in the middle of the night. This is our current situation. This is one of the busiest squares in Avcılar. Everywhere is full of children and families. Unfortunately, we could not find anyone to address regarding this grievance of ours," he said.
