The Mayor of Girne, Murat Şenkul, directed a series of questions to the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources regarding the water issue that has been ongoing since June 4th.

Mayor Şenkul raised questions regarding the malfunction at the Geçitköy Pump Station, which has been causing problems since June 4th and was, reportedly, resolved last week according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Şenkul stated that much less water has been provided compared to before the malfunction occurred despite the ministry’s claims that the issue had been resolved.

"Less Water Than Before the Malfunction"

Şenkul pointed out that the workers responsible for delivering water to the regions have been working continuously for 8 days with only a few hours of sleep. Despite this, there are still specific streets and complexes in the center of Girne that have not been provided with water, and in areas where water does reach, it is being supplied intermittently.

"What Is The Problem?"

Şenkul called on the Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Hüseyin Çavuş, to make a statement on the matter. Continuing his statement, Şenkul listed the questions that need answering: "What is the problem?", "Why are we not getting enough water?", "You say the problem is solved, but many pump stations are not working because they are not receiving pressure. If you cannot provide the answers, then who will come forward to explain this to the citizens and when?"
