ORDU (AA) – The tradition of distributing candy to children on the eve of Eid, which has been continued for centuries in the Karaoluk District of Ordu’s Altınordu district, was held before Eid al-Adha. Residents of the neighborhood, 22 kilometers away from the district center, came to the mosque with their children for the noon prayer. After the prayer, the candies provided in cooperation with the headman’s office and the Karaoluk Neighborhood Association were placed in pots and boxes and mixed.
The candies were then distributed equally to the children lining up in front of the mosque. The program ended after prayers. Karaoluk Neighborhood Headman Hasan Çapkın, in his statement to journalists, stated that the tradition of distributing holiday candy to children has been going on for about 200 years, and that they, as residents of the neighborhood, protect the tradition. Stating that they repeated the tradition before Eid al-Adha, Çapkın noted that the children and families were very happy.
11The water discharged from a height of 173 meters at the Karakaya Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant (HEPP) in Çüngüş district of Diyarbakır turned into a visual feast. The amount of water in the basin of Karakaya Dam and HEPP, Turkey’s third largest dam and second largest hydroelectric power plant, reached 9.5 billion cubic meters with heavy rainfall. In the Karakaya Dam and HEPP, which has an installed capacity of 1800 megawatts with a total of 6 units, 2 discharge gates of the dam were opened in the first place on May 11, after 7 years, against the risk of possible floods due to the water level approaching the maximum level.
The discharge of pressurized water from the dam set, whose body height is 173 meters, turned into a visual feast. Rainbows occasionally form in the region due to sunlight.
