Mardin's Kızıltepe Municipality eradicated trees in the district on Thursday night. The trees on Turgut Özal Mahallesi Sanayi Street were cut down by the new government-appointed municipality teams with scoops.

The uprooted trees were then loaded into pickup trucks and taken away.

It is believed that the municipality teams started cutting down trees at night because they were afraid of the reactions, but it was not learned why the trees were uprooted and where they were taken.
