SANTITATION PLAN FOR KARLOVAC SUBURB OF TURANJ

KARLOVAC, Feb 8 (Hina) - UN Protection Force and UNCIVIPOL officials along with representatives of the Croatian Army and the county commission for civil defence today toured the Karlovac suburb of Turanj to agree on sanitation measures for the residential area where refugees from western Bosnia had lived for four months. After the return of the refugees to Velika Kladusa the houses at Turanj were left in a mess. Such conditions posed a serious health threat with infectious diseases spreading to other Karlovac suburbs. The refugees left food leftovers, clothes, and garbage in disarray all over Turanj. Because of the danger of infections residents of Turanj could not return to their homes and begin reconstructing them. After the UNPROFOR, UNCIVPOL and Croatian officials visited the suburb, they agreed that the demining of the area should begin tomorrow. The removal of garbage and pulling down of wooden huts between the two bridges would be a next step in the sanitation process, which could be finished in two months. (hina) sd mms 081604 MET feb 95
