Demolition work begins at Yialousa high school
Demolition work began at the Yialousa high school on Friday.
The school was declared unsafe during inspections carried out following the deadly earthquakes last year, with students educated in temporary portacabins since last spring.
Local ‘MP’ Biray Hamzaogullari, who belongs to opposition party the CTP, said he hopes “a beautiful new building and landscape will emerge” in the place of the old school building.
The school had made headlines for all the wrong reasons last October, when rainfall turned the portacabins and the area surrounding them into a flooded, muddy quagmire.
