The severe southwestern winds that started yesterday in Istanbul, Türkiye, gave citizens a difficult time. Failing to resist against the powerful winds, the tents over a bazaar in the Sultangazi district collapsed in the evening, causing chaos in the bazaar place. Stallholders suffered financial damage as their stalls collapsed along with the tents.
Heavy traffic formed at the intersection of the Northern Marmara and Anatolian Highways in Sakarya as holidaymakers headed to their hometowns for Eid al-Adha. Long queues were observed from the air as traffic came to a standstill. Authorities have increased inspections, deploying 649 teams and 3,570 personnel to ensure safety and warn drivers to follow traffic rules.
