Paralimni-Deryneia Municipality Seeks €12 Million for Flood Prevention

The Municipality of Paralimni-Deryneia is seeking the immediate release of a €12 million fund from the state in order to tender and implement necessary flood prevention projects. This need arose from a meeting held at the Town Hall, focusing on addressing stormwater issues. Existing data was discussed and proposals were made for targeted prevention and restoration measures. Following the local government reform, the responsibility for stormwater management lies with the Famagusta Provincial Administration, with whom the Municipality is working closely. Immediate interventions to reduce problems have already begun.
