It’s lucky there were no casualties

“I thought there was an earthquake at 14:40, but in fact the house collapsed. It is lucky that there were no casualties. We hope for quick reactions and I am interested, as a citizen, who is responsible for this thing or are we running after the events as usual? “, commented Dr. Hayk Garabedyan to a reporter of Plovdiv24.bg on the occasion of the collapsed house in the Old Town.

He also added that he lives and grew up in the area and that the condition of the house has been like this for almost 2 years.

“People will surely find it hard to believe that this is the heart of the Old Town. Often when we go home, we run past so as not to be hit by a tile or a brick. Personally, the mayor of the “Central” district, Mr. Stamenov, took things to heart . He came and got acquainted with the problem and took it seriously, but apparently the procedures are slower.”

The citizen is a member of the association “I live in Old Plovdiv” and some time ago he had a meeting with the mayor of the municipality of Plovdiv Kostadin Dimitrov and the deputy mayor for culture Plamen Panov.

He added that on March 13, a report was also submitted to the Deputy Mayor for Construction, Eng. Tosho Pashov.

“The one-month deadline has passed, and I have no answer. As far as I know, there should be some movement on the file within 30 days. I have no idea what is happening with it.”

We remind you that the house, located at 2 Vasil Kanchev Street, just collapsed earlier today. It is in the area of ​​AMTII “Asen Diamandiev”.

the team of Plovdiv24.bg found on the spot that the house continues to crack and the entire structure is expected to collapse soon. There is an interrupted signal of one of the major mobile operators, there is no internet in the area either. Technicians are expected to correct the inconvenience.

The mayor of the “Central” district has already been informed. There are “Fire and emergency safety and population protection” teams at the site, which are securing the area. Georgi Stamenov added that an EVN substation is affected and if necessary, the electricity supply in the area will be interrupted until the problem is fixed.
