The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens’ Cooperation Party has called for an urgent investigation into allegations of illegal construction and palm tree removal at a popular beach resort in Protaras.
Party president George Perdikis has written to Famagusta District Administration Organisation chairman Yiannis Karousos demanding immediate action over the reported violations near the Sunrise Hotel.
Apartment owners at the Pallinion building reported that unknown individuals uprooted palm trees and erected a prefabricated structure on the beach, providing photographic evidence of the alleged illegal activity.
The situation has raised particular concern as the individuals involved in the construction are allegedly employed by the District Administration Organisation, according to the party.
The party is demanding an immediate investigation and, if illegality is confirmed, the restoration of the site to its original condition.
“Our environment and beaches belong to everyone, and no arbitrary or illegal intervention can be tolerated”, the party said in its statement.
