LOCAL - Villagers fined for forest fire: Some 38 people were fined on the grounds they failed to respond to a fire that broke out four months ago in the northwestern province of Tekirdağ’s Bağpınar village. The villagers have appealed to Malkara Penal Court of Peace for the cancellation of the fine.
A fire broke out in the woods of Bağpınar on Sept. 24 and was extinguished with the help of forest protection teams and citizens that same day. After a while, however, gendarmerie units notified Malkara Public Prosecutor’s Office that villagers were not involved in efforts to put out the fire.
After conducting an investigation into the complaint, 38 citizens were fined 270 Turkish Liras on the grounds that they had violated Article No. 69 of the Forestry Law because they failed to participate in efforts to extinguish the fire.
