In the Gölbaşı town and Oduncular village of the Güroymak district of Bitlis, streams overflowed due to heavy rainfall, and some agricultural lands were damaged. Gölbaşı Municipality teams started cleaning work in the damaged area.

Gölbaşı Mayor Hikmet Kardaş said,The roads, sewerage networks, drinking water lines, culverts and bridges in our town suffered great damage.
