< p> The authorities, as well as humanitarian and environmental organizations, turn a blind eye to the ecological disaster taking place around the Pournara Hospitality Center.

Sigma's camera captured scenes of infinite beauty, with the area turned into a vast wasteland.

In addition to the issues arising from the sewage, the surrounding area, even at a distance from the center, has become a vast garbage dump, while human excrement is everywhere.

Surrounding the Center, on a large expanse of land, are the images captured in the footage. As a result, incalculable environmental impacts.

The leader of the community of Kokkinotrimithia, Mr. Christakis Meleties, also denounces the ecological crime, directing his fire at the Department of Environment. As he says, "in the community we receive complaints from the environment department because someone throws waste. In Pournara and around it, no one comes to check and complain.

The Department of Environment intervenes only after complaints, Director Mr. Kostas Hatzipanagiotou reports to Sigma, passing the responsibility on to the provincial administration, but and in the communities.

"The Department of the Environment has not had any complaint against anyone that shows that specific people are throwing things away or that a specific company has such and such responsibility and is not cleaning up," he said indicatively. 

In Sigma's communication with the Ministry of the Interior, it was reported that they are aware of the matter and will take care of it, while it was clarified that the responsibility lies with the Nicosia District Administration, which is under the Ministry.

Works started at the same time

However, the bulldozers entered, about three weeks ago, to create a drainage system, based on the new needs.

At the same time, the construction of the pre-decided additional fencing, a patrol road, and also a new access road began. . 

As can be seen from the plans, construction work has begun on the new, second perimeter fence. You can also see, the distance that exists with the original, shorter fence. The intermediate space will be used as a patrol road.

According to the Mayor of Kokkinotrimithias, "the project costs around 1.2 million euros and is a fence high, about 4 meters, to prevent such entrants, as well as expatriates within Pournara and that the legislation be applied»

The completion of the projects is not expected to be completed in less than three months, while the community authorities give time credit to the government, until shortly after the holidays.

If entry and exit from the center continues to be uncontrolled, they warn of new mobilizations.
