Illegal dumping reported in Chloraka natural area

The Chloraka Cultural and Environmental Association has reported that the 'Melanos' area, a significant natural site in Chloraka, has been turned into an illegal landfill. Residents, including foreign nationals and visitors, have complained about the accumulation of waste, including mattresses and furniture, specifically near Charilaou Floraki street and a local stream. The association highlighted these conditions as unacceptable and damaging to the community's image. They are calling on local authorities to clear the area immediately and implement stricter enforcement of environmental laws. The group advocates for severe penalties and fines to deter future dumping. While the association has participated in past cleanup efforts, they demand that the local government takes decisive action against the offenders. The state news agency (KYPE) confirmed the report, noting that the ongoing pollution remains a significant concern for the local public.
