Melikgazi Municipality, which continues to demolish shanty houses in order to improve the appearance of the district and increase its aesthetic beauty, will demolish shanty houses in Yıldırım Beyazıt Neighborhood and build a park in their place.

We are working the district stitch by stitch…

Saying that they will continue to demolish buildings that have been idle for years, Melikgazi Mayor Assoc. Mustafa Palancıoğlu, “We are demolishing 3 shanty houses in Yıldırım Beyazıt Neighborhood. We had demolished two before. We cleaned the lands. This place cost us 13 million TL. Our citizens complain about shanty houses and idle structures. Their legal processes need to be completed and the citizens who own these structures should not be victimized and their rights should be given. Therefore, this process is ongoing. For exactly 6 years, we have been dealing with the removal of the structures here, the determination of the shareholders, and the granting of their rights. Today, in one day, we will have received the result of that 6-year effort. We are demolishing the buildings and turning this place into a park. The people living here had needs such as roads, parks, and parking lots. Hopefully, we will make our citizens comfortable with a beautiful greenery here. We are beautifying Melikgazi and our city by demolishing thousands of idle buildings and shanty houses in Melikgazi in 6 years. My vice president, director, I would like to thank my managers and my entire team. Because these need to be processed step by step. Sometimes the owners of the buildings are abroad, they have passed away or they have not been transferred, there are cases of lawsuits. Therefore, solving these one by one is really a matter of effort and work. Beautifying the city requires effort and responsibility. Now we will tear down these buildings and turn this place into a more beautiful park. Good luck.” he said.
