The Orounta Ecological and Cultural Intervention announced the discovery of two dead cows exposed in a rural area on the Orounta – Agia Marina Xyliatou road, expressing concern about the risks to public health and the environment. The organization sent a letter to the Minister of Agriculture, requesting immediate intervention from the competent authorities.
