The local residents will be evacuated from Lortkipanidze N10, where part of the slope collapsed

The population will be evacuated from the residential building located at Lortkipanidze st. N10 for safety reasons. The building is located in the area where part of the slope collapsed.

According to the Tbilisi City Hall, the City Hall will provide temporary accommodation to local residents. They will be relocated to different hotels by the municipality.

As the Deputy Mayor of Tbilisi Irakli Bendeliani stated yesterday, before the conclusion of the specialists is prepared, the main task is the safety of the population.

"The first task is to keep the population safe, no matter whether there is a real danger or not. There are some risks. Therefore, even if there is a 1% risk, I will not leave anyone at that 1% risk. It all needs to be organized urgently and we are in the process. We will be here all night, we are not going anywhere. According to preliminary data, about 90 families live in the building, we find out how many families are on the ground. We do our best to mobilize everything so that the population of the mentioned building is safe. Of course, at this stage no one can continue to build anything in the area. The construction process is related only to the strengthening of the slope and if it is necessary fortifying the building, we will do it too", - said Irakli Bendeliani.

According to the City Hall, representatives of all relevant services of the Municipality, as well as the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture were present on Lortkipanidze Street. Rescue brigades were also mobilized at the scene.

Specialists in the field have already begun to study the slope, after which an expert opinion will be prepared. Based on this conclusion, relevant decisions will be made.
