The work of the crisis teams in the holiday village "Elenite" continues for a second day, after the devastating two tidal waves that caused serious damage to the infrastructure and buildings in the area, BNT reports.
Three people died and over 200 were evacuated. The village remains without electricity, and access to some areas is still severely limited. Three separate pre-trial proceedings have been initiated by the Burgas District Prosecutor's Office for the three deceased - an employee on the ground floor of a hotel complex, an excavator operator and a 57-year-old border policeman from Burgas.
Meanwhile, a second patrol of the area in broad daylight is beginning in the resort village to make an accurate assessment of the damage. There is no information about people in distress or wanted. The road to the beach is destroyed, dozens of hotels and buildings are affected, and the village remains without electricity. Heavy equipment has begun clearing fallen trees, mud and debris. Volunteers from Burgas and Plovdiv are being involved and specialized teams from the army have been requested. Fire, police and gendarmerie teams remain on site.
