Be careful in Alanya! Don't lose your life in the rain

Electric cables on sidewalks in Alanya pose a serious threat to citizens’ lives, especially in rainy weather.

Electric cables laid for illuminated signs on busy streets in Alanya pose a serious threat to citizens’ lives. In rainy weather, puddles of water that may form in areas where these cables are located increase the risk of electric shock. The incident that occurred in the Alsancak neighborhood of İzmir’s Konak district last year, which caused Özge Ceren Deniz and İnanç Öktemay to lose their lives, is also causing concern in Alanya.

Citizens living in Alanya say they are aware of the danger these cables pose, especially in rainy weather, and demand that authorities take precautions regarding the issue. It is vital to move these electric cables on sidewalks underground or isolate them more safely to prevent possible accidents.
