Mersin Municipality Distributes 163,000 Lemonades to Residents Amid Summer Heat

Since 2021, the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality has handed out a total of 163,000 cups of lemonade across the city. The programme, coordinated by the municipality’s Social Services Department and promoted by official Yağmur Merve İşlek, targets industrial zones, hal areas and disadvantaged neighbourhoods, offering a brief cooling break for workers and residents during the hot summer days. Local merchants, such as Ahmet Gül, praised the initiative and thanked Mayor Vahap Seçer for the effort.

The distribution is part of the municipality’s social‑service approach, aiming to both showcase local values—Mersin’s iconic lemons—and provide practical relief from the soaring temperatures.
