Nicosia Mayor: Suggestions on Foot-and-Mouth Disease Being Heard

The Mayor of South Nicosia, Stavros Hadjiyiannis, stated that the Municipality's recommendations regarding foot-and-mouth disease are being heard by the Department of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture. He had initially expressed concerns about the coordination and responsibilities of the Department of Agriculture, especially in mixed zones with livestock and industrial facilities. However, the problem appears to be resolving. Furthermore, automated vehicle spraying systems and warning signs at spraying points are being installed to prevent the spread of the disease. Cooperation between the Municipalities and relevant services is now considered more effective.
