The Mata Coast area in Lezha is at risk of flooding after the embankment of the Tale lagoon was damaged and as a result, water has flowed towards residential areas.
Residents are expressing outrage. One of them says that the swamp has been overcrowded because the hydropower plant has pumped water into the swamp.
He also states that nothing will be done if only gravel is thrown in, but demands concrete.
"It's flooding like in the '60s. When there was no dam. It's done the same way. The whole area is submerged in water. This work was done only for the sake of fishermen not going out to sea. The excavator took it 10 meters without joining the sea. Now it came and cracked here. The weakest point. They didn't have time to do it because there was a low part here and when it arrived it had to be reinforced so that it wouldn't crack. The swamp was loaded because the entire dam had brought water into the swamp. There was only one place to open because the water opens its way on its own. Here only the army brings concrete barriers because it can't hold with earth anymore. Here is the gravel, but it's not filled with gravel. Only with concrete," said the resident.
Another says that the cause of this situation is the detour of the road.
"When the road started, which was signed, they asked the company and I told them if there would be space left to open the canal. They didn't even leave room for excavation and they diverted the road project by over three meters. Now they have brought the sidewalk into the canal and moved the road into the canal, here we are flooded by this road. 57 million that the state has brought for tourism and we are flooded as a country. Here the entire bank of the Mata could be flooded. The situation started at night. The place will be flooded and the diversion of the road is the main problem," he told "Report TV".
