Palu Municipality, led by Muhammet Septioğlu, who switched from AK Party to the Rebirth Party in the local elections on March 31, removed 20 gazebos in the Şehit Piyade Uzman Çavuş Mehmet Kaya Recreation Area. The municipality explained the reason for the situation as 'The recreation area was not used in accordance with our society, customs, and traditions.' The development, which the district residents reacted to, was announced by Palu Municipality with the following statement: 'The recreation area named after our martyr will be transformed into a memorial forest in order to serve our belief tourism fully and to be used in accordance with our society, customs, and traditions. The existing playgrounds and gazebos in the recreation area will be increased in number and moved to our recreation area known as 'Çırçır', and our recreation areas will be expanded and presented to our people as soon as possible.' Former CHP Palu District Chairman Adnan Karatay criticized the decision of the municipality. Karatay said: 'Last year, 20 gazebos were built near the old historical bridge, and they were demolished 10 days ago on the grounds that people were drinking alcohol, upon the instruction of the Palu Municipality Mayor. This area was also built with the municipality's budget last year, and they removed these gazebos without asking the residents of the district. The municipality, which said that it was demolished because it was not used in accordance with customs and traditions, could have assigned a security guard to this area and solved the problem. However, unfortunately, the municipality chose to be destructive instead of constructive. This area was a place where families had picnics on weekends. There was a distance of 30 meters between each gazebo, and there were barbecue areas. Many families came from outside and also shopped in the district, which was economically beneficial for the local shopkeepers. However, the new mayor suddenly removed this recreation area one night without asking any of the district residents. This is not a right move, but there is nothing we can do.'
