In the Mudanya district of Bursa, tensions escalated as residents protested demolition orders for structures near the Ayazma and Mesudiye coasts. Protesters attempted to block heavy machinery and law enforcement, with some individuals climbing onto rooftops to prevent the dismantling of buildings. Residents cited concerns regarding their inability to utilize previous zoning amnesties.

In Diyarbakır, local frustration grew over the closure of sidewalks and pedestrian routes leading to the Inner Bazaar, which residents claim is hindering movement and shopping in the historic commercial center.
