Traffic Chaos in Lefkara Due to Christmas Village: Parents Unable to Take Child to Doctor – Allegations of Misleading Citizens

Severe traffic problems are being recorded in Lefkara due to the large influx of visitors to the Christmas villages. The community leader of Vavatsinia, Andreas Gavriel, denounced a lack of vehicle management and responsibility attributed to the Local Government by the police. Mr. Gavriel stated that on Friday the road was closed for over an hour, preventing parents from taking their child to the doctor. He stressed the need for better organization so that citizens are not at risk in the event of an accident or need for assistance. Allegations have been made that security personnel were misleading citizens about the existence of accidents in order to justify the delays. The community leader stated that he received three complaints, even from a high-ranking official in the state. Mr. Gavriel called on the police to take responsibility and ensure smooth traffic in the area in order to avoid further problems and ensure the safety of citizens.
