Skip owners are staging a protest convoy through Nicosia, with 57 vehicles participating in the demonstration over the closure of a construction waste management facility.
Police said the convoy is following a route from the Agriculture Ministry to the Presidential Palace and then to the Environment Department.
Authorities have advised the public to follow traffic police instructions throughout the protest due to possible temporary delays on affected road arteries.
The protest relates primarily to the suspension of operations at an illegal construction and demolition waste (CDW) management facility. The suspension was imposed by competent authorities as part of implementing relevant legislation.
