Kurdpa: In the ‘Sura-Dukal’ recreational area of Margawar locality of Orumieh, a Kurdish youth slips into the waterfall and dies instantly.

The incident occurred on May 11 while a group of residents were busy collecting wild green vegetables from the hill-sides to make a living.

Kurdpa’s on-the-ground sources identified him as Ismail Pariwa, a 29-year old villager from ‘Dize Margawar’ in the suburbs of Orumieh in north-west Iran.

Local residents have complained that lack of proper safety barriers in and around these recreational centers cost the residents, sightseers and visitors their lives.

According to figures available to Kurdpa in the last two months 13 people have lost their lives in the Kurdish areas of Iran due to various incidents.
