Moldovan PM requested operative investigations on fires at Giurgiulesti Port

Chisinau, 22 Jan. /MOLDPRES/- Prime Minister Natalia Gavriliţa today asked all responsible ministries to quickly investigate the causes of the repeated fires at the silos in the port of Giurgiulești and to order the necessary measures to remove the consequences and prevent incidents of this kind in the future.

"We also asked for research into the reasons for the non-implementation of the previous conclusions of the interministerial commissions from the last months of last year. State institutions continue to work and will come with additional information", according to the prime minister.

Gavriliţa said "it is unacceptable that people suffer because of the irresponsibility of some economic agents".

"Any violations in the construction and exploitation process will be sanctioned according to the law, and the consequences for the people in the area, who suffer, but also for the environment, must be compensated. In the context of what happened, I will order checks at all the silos in the country to avoid such incidents in the future", she said.

Starting from January 16, several fires occurred in the Giurgiulesti International Port area, which affected the environment in the region.
