The knife in the bone is determined to put the Municipal Council of Ayia Napa, in order to deal with the phenomenon of cracking which has become a scourge for tourist and not only areas, both in the free area of Famagusta and in the other provinces of free Cyprus.
As the Mayor of Ayia Napa, Giannis Karousos, stated to KYPE, “the Municipal Council has taken certain decisions which we estimate will bring the required results. The Municipality will show zero tolerance to any phenomena of screaming and we will not tolerate any person to turn around and disturb in any way the tourists who arrive in our area for their holidays ". The Municipal Council, he added," has approved a budget to hire employees , who will deal day and night with the fight against the phenomenon of illiterate customers. In particular, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles and cars will patrol the streets of Ayia Napa and report to the Police, both the person who is screaming and the company for which he works ". Unfortunately, Mr. Karousos continued, "in every street, every substation and every corner, not only in our region but in the whole of Cyprus, there are barks that in various ways harass both foreign and Cypriot visitors." The Municipality of Ayia Napa is in full cooperation with the Police, which has already started its own efforts to combat the phenomenon. The fine for each complaint of embezzlement is around 180 euros and we call on the owners of restaurants, pubs and leisure centers to limit the people who are disturbing the people in their premises. "The mayor also said that we expect everyone to cooperate. We appeal to property owners, such as hotels, restaurants, apartments and others, who have a seizure problem, to contact us so that we can send a person who will report or prevent the barkers from entering their premises and harassing their customers. " Giannis Karousos decided to "put the knife to the bone and face this ugly phenomenon that has plagued the Cypriot society for years. We also call on those who want to register as volunteers and help in our effort to combat the crash, to contact the City Hall to register in the catalogs ".Source: CYPE
