In the Kozluk district of Batman, a long-standing land boundary dispute between Arıkaya and Oyuktaş villages was resolved following an investigation by the Provincial Administrative Board. After map engineers and cadastral experts examined historical documents and physical terrain, the Board clarified official boundaries, leading to local celebrations of the resolution.

Separately, a presidential decree authorized the urgent expropriation of 31 properties in Batman to support the Batman Urban Streams Planning and Project Construction Work. These expropriations, managed by the Batman Municipality, are intended to facilitate the İluh Stream By-Pass Line and the Çay Stream Displacement Line projects to improve streams and prevent flooding in several neighborhoods and villages.
