Water rising in the Petalo area of Evros

According to statements by the deputy governor of Evros, Dimitris Petrovic, at the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, in the morning the water level was at 6.20-6.30 meters. "The weather front that passed over us has moved east and the level is rising because of the Ergin River, which brings water from Turkey," Petrovic explained, explaining that the limit is 6 meters. "It's at 6.20 now and it's going up. "We have issued relevant instructions in time to the citizens not to approach the area, we are monitoring the phenomenon and we are on standby," he added.
