Work continues at full speed for an earthquake resistant Mansion

Konak Mayor Abdül Batur said that the damage caused by the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in that region, the loss of more than 50 thousand citizens and the great pain experienced should not be forgotten. Mayor Batur, who gave information about the work they have done to create an earthquake-resistant city as Konak Municipality, said, “We, too, need to take precautions, especially as the managers of a city in an earthquake zone. As Konak Municipality, we continue to work with our relevant technical friends under the leadership of our Civil Defense Directorate on what to do for earthquake resistant cities, for rescue efforts, and for post-disaster aid. At the meeting we held with AKUT last week, it was decided to train our volunteer staff. We have also started work on neighborhood disaster volunteers,” he said.

A truck is being prepared to serve as a dining hall and kitchen.

President Batur also announced that they have purchased a truck that will serve as a modern mobile kitchen and dining hall, and said:

“We bought a new truck. We will have a truck that will serve food in a modern way and have the capacity to cook for approximately 3 thousand people. The interior is currently being designed. We are also reviewing the organization chart of the municipality. We are working on the use of existing vehicles and the vehicles to be purchased.”

Stating that they brought the iftar table tradition of Konak Municipality to the earthquake zone this year, Mayor Batur said, “We continue to serve in our tent city of 120 tents in Namık Kemal District within the borders of Dulkadiroğlu Municipality in Kahramanmaraş. We carried the iftar tables to our tent city. Our iftar table is set every day,” he said.
