Paphos banana farmers protest over water cuts 

Banana farmers and local growers in Paphos staged a protest on Saturday morning, demanding the release of irrigation water promised by the water development department. The demonstration began at 11am, with farmers briefly blocking the Paphos to Polis Chrysochous road near Potimon in Peyia.

The protest, organised by farmers from the Kissonerga-Peyia area and wider western Paphos, comes amid growing anger over what they describe as unequal treatment and failure to receive their fair share of water.
