Since June in the Mladost district of the capital oil gushes from the ground behind apartment blocks. The fuel oil has already been removed, and it took many complaints and two months of preparation.
The mayor of the capital region, Ivaylo Kukurin, explained that administratively he had many obstacles, but the problem itself was eliminated in a week.
That sums up bTV.
„It is about 4 tons of fuel oil, which we scooped up. The source is clear – these are old bunkers, used years ago”, Kukurin said.
The woman, who had been complaining for two months, added that she was glad that there was no danger to people and everything had already been removed.
The unusual stains of unknown origin and unpleasant smell appeared at the end of June in one of the largest residential complexes in Sofia.
The eco-inspection issues a prescription to the mayor of the “Mladost“ to immediately secure and clean up the site. The regional administration insists on extending the deadline - until July 26, due to a lack of equipment.
Then on bTV the mayor of the “Mladost” Ivaylo Kukurin assured people that the problem will be solved as soon as possible.
A month later, liquid springs up again at the site, and people continue to be worried about their health and do not believe that the institutions will react.
After talking to several companies, it was found that there is a larger amount of fuel oil in the back, which requires more specialized equipment. And so today the problem has already been fixed.
