Entrance and basement floors flooded in Sincan

Due to the downpour, sewers overflowed in the Malazgirt and Tandoğan neighborhoods of Sincan, flooding the entrance and basement floors of some buildings.

Hacı Dursun Doğan, a resident of the Ozanoğlu Apartment on Siyah Lale Street, whose basement is filled with water, stated that they face flooding every time there is heavy rain.

Doğan said, "We keep telling the authorities to build a culvert here. A culvert was built further forward, but the problem still remains. We had an engine inside, and it was half-filled with water. We had supplies to go to the village, but they were all destroyed. We're asking the authorities for help."

Ramazan Babagir, a resident of Şirin Apartments, which also experienced flooding on the same street, said, "The water filled the basement in about 15 minutes. The homeowners are in a difficult situation right now. The vehicles in front of the building were also damaged."
