MILLET's broadcast causes a public outcry for traffic accidents
The frequent traffic accidents at the exit of the Bulgarian road on the Komotini-Kalfa road in the Rhodope region in recent years have started to seriously worry the citizens.
Especially in the summer months, foreigners from neighbouring countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine, who want to spend their holidays in Greece, use the exit to take a break in Komotini and because of the mound of soil on the left side of the road, foreigners cannot clearly see the vehicles coming from the direction of Komotini or Kalfa, which causes frequent traffic accidents at the point in question.
A fatal accident occurred on Sunday night at the exit of Komotini on the road coming from Bulgaria. An Audi car coming from Bulgaria collided with a motorbike driven by 22-year-old Hakan Çakır İsmail from Kalenderköy. While Bulgarian citizens were injured in the tragic accident, the young cognate unfortunately died on the spot.
The citizens of Rhodope, who did not keep silent about MILLET's news, expressed their serious discomfort with the accidents in their comments under the posts and stated that something should be done as soon as possible to prevent more fatal accidents.
MİLLET Newspaper responded to the public outcry and broadcasted live from the scene of the traffic accident and the reasons seen by the public.
The video of our newspaper's Komotini Officer, journalist Ramadan Molla, who broadcasted live yesterday from the area where the Bulgarian exit of the Komotini-Kalfa road is located, conveying the demands and requests of the people to the officials of the company responsible for the Bulgarian road and the elected officials of the region, has been shared many times in a short time on social media and has been watched thousands of times and continues to be watched.
