Lefke Civil Society Groups Rally in Gemikonağı
The Lefke region Civil Society Organizations Platform recently held a demonstration at the site of a tragic accident in Gemikonağı, where a young man named Naveed Akbar lost his life. The purpose of the demonstration was to raise awareness about the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents in the country and specifically in the Lefke region.
During the demonstration, participants reiterated their demand for necessary precautions to be taken at the scene of the accident and called for the construction of a protective barrier in the area.
