“From the Devoll River, where work continues on the cleaning, widening, and rehabilitation of 4.3 km of embankment, from the Pheasant Forest to Orman, as well as the reinforcement of the banks,” writes Minister Salla.

The works have been ongoing for more than a month on both sides of the embankment, over a length of 4.3 kilometers, in the segment from the Pheasant Forest to the village of Orman.
