The area of the Chrysochous apartment is counting its wounds from the natural disaster that hit it on Saturday. The day after the extreme weather events revealed to its full extent the extent of the disasters caused, which were not limited only to agricultural production, but also to a significant number of photovoltaic systems in open spaces and in homes in communities in the area.
The very significant degree of the destruction caused was emphasized by the Deputy Mayor of the Drousia district in the Municipality of Akamas, Sotiris Koupparis, speaking to "F", who stressed that a large number of photovoltaics were completely destroyed by the strong winds and hail that hit the area for hours in the morning and at noon on Saturday.

Mr. Koupparis also mentioned that a number of avocado plantations were also destroyed by the extreme phenomena, while the number of other agricultural crops destroyed in the area is huge.

Trees were cut down and the assistance of the Fire Brigade was needed to normalize the road road, the Deputy Mayor of Drousia also said, while three water turbines formed near the shores maximized the problems for the residents.

Now, the competent authorities should move quickly to repair the damage and record it in order for the farmers of the area to be compensated as soon as possible, concluded Mr. Koupparis.
