Repeat landslide hits Ministerial Lakes residential complex in Sochi
A repeat landslide has occurred in the area of the Ministerial Lakes residential complex in Sochi, according to the telegram channel ChP Sochi. Work to eliminate the consequences of the ground collapse, which happened in the early morning of January 20, had been underway for several days.
According to eyewitnesses, there is currently active movement of a significant landslide mass. The road in the direction of the bypass route has been blocked, a road sign has fallen on a power line, one of the residential buildings has been left without electricity, and the risk of further ground collapse remains.
Local residents are particularly concerned by the fact that Gymnasium No. 9 is located at the bottom of the slope, creating a potential threat to the safety of children and staff of the educational institution.
The entire territory of the Ministerial Lakes residential complex is completely without water supply.
Recall that residents of the area stated that the slope continues to creep and poses a threat to hundreds of families.
— The situation is critical and worsening every day. Danger for children and homes. The slope continues to move. The «head» of the landslide is unstable and expanding, creating the threat of a new, catastrophic collapse that could affect pedestrian paths and the gymnasium itself. Work is being carried out in the wrong place. Yes, there is clearing at the bottom of the slope. But this is fighting the consequence. The true cause — an unsecured pile of soil at the top — continues to «spread out,» write residents of Ministerial Lakes.
