Evangelos Pouliilios, the Deputy Regional Governor of Evros, confirmed the completion of cleaning operations in high-risk stream beds as part of flood prevention measures. Following the recent weather event ‘BORA,’ which spared the region, he emphasized readiness for any necessary action. The focus remains on stream maintenance to protect communities and properties from potential flooding. Concerns were raised regarding the ‘Kakorema’ area, which risks becoming an uncontrolled drainage basin due to heavy rainfall. Collaborative efforts with forestry services are ongoing to address bureaucratic delays in cleaning operations.
