Following his removal from office on February 15, 2024, Governor Ozan Balcı was appointed by the Ministry of Interior to replace Zeydan.
Following the appointment of the trustee, several fireworks launched during unauthorized demonstrations organized by a group struck a garbage truck. As the flames grew rapidly, the garbage truck burned completely and became unusable.
