There are serious health and legal issues in old Nicosia, highlighted by recent municipal operations. These operations led to the arrest of 131 illegal immigrants and inspections of 318 establishments. Four buildings were closed due to unsuitability. The minister is determined to continue these operations to eliminate all forms of illegality in the area. With two universities set to open in the old town, the need for such actions has become more urgent.
