Chisinau, 22 January /MOLDPRES/ - All Moldovan settlements were reconnected to the electric energy supply today.
Contacted by MOLDPRES, the press officer of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU), Liliana Puscasu, has said that “settlements of the Causeni and Anenii Noi districts were the last to be reconnected to power supply.”
The head of the operative service of the State Roads’ Administration, Sergiu Capatina, said that the roads of Moldova were practicable. “During the last night, 80 special vehicles and 170 workers intervened. Roadmen used over 553 tons of antiskid material,” Capatina noted.
At the same time, IGSU employees in the last 24 hours carried out works of de-blocking transport means on roads of the Telenesti and Hancesti districts. Nearby the Banesti settlement, Telenesti district, firemen towed a bus skidded from the road and near the Vadul-Leca village, rescuers drew a tractor from a ditch. In Hancesti, firemen were alerted to de-block a vehicle which skidded from the road. Sixty eight rescuers and firemen with 16 machines got involved in works to prevent and liquidate risk situations.
The National Patrol Inspectorate recommends that drivers show increased prudence, adapt the speed to the road conditions, not make risky overtakings and increase the distance between vehicles. Also, in conditions of a slippery roadway, besides the decrease in the speed, it is necessary that drivers do not brake or corner sharply and use mostly the engine brake.
