Anti-flood works in Paralimni will be going ahead with a budget of €14,280,000, funded by the finance ministry and the EU’s Thalia 2021-2027 social cohesion programme, the Famagusta district government organisation (EOA) announced on Friday.

The infrastructure strengthens the areas’ anti-flood protection, improves the management of rainwater and promotes the safety of people and property, the EOA said.

It added that it will “continue to promote projects of strategic importance that enhance safety, sustainable development and the quality of life in the Famagusta district”.
