The dam on the lake in Lesopark "Lipnik" near Nikolovo is in critical condition due to a partial landslide, caused by heavy rainfall over the last two days.
Due to the detection of signs of imminent danger of the dam breaking, the BG-Alert system will be activated to notify and evacuate residents of Nikolovo, Sandrovo and Marten. Preventive actions have been taken to release the lake.
The mayor of Ruse Municipality Pencho Milkov, deputy mayors Nikola Lazarov and Dimitar Nedev, the mayor of Nikolovo village Zlatan Vanev and the director of the “Public Order and Security“ Georgi Ignatov are on site, monitoring the development of the situation.
The carrier on the Ruse-Nikolovo-Dolno Ablanovo-Prosena line and “Municipal Transport Ruse“ will provide transport for the evacuation of residents. The Nikolovo - Chervena Voda road is temporarily closed to traffic to ensure the safety of citizens.
The “Arena Ruse“ hall will be used as a temporary point for receiving residents of the village of Nikolovo in need. A team of social workers and psychologists are currently on site, and they will welcome the arriving people and take care of their further accommodation in social services and hotels.
