Chisinau, 13 October /MOLDPRES/ - Over 70 settlements from 14 districts are still disconnected from power supply in the wake of the heavy rains of the last two days. The press officer of the Civil Protection and Emergency Situations Service (SPCSE), Diana Turcanu, has confirmed the information for MOLDPRES.

“Presently, settlements from the districts of Straseni, Orhei, Telenesti, Calarasi, Nisporeni, Ialoveni, Causeni, Stefan Voda, Anenii Noi, Hincesti, Cahul, Cantemir, Taraclia, Cimislia and Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauz-Yeri are still in blackout.
