“As a result of the disaster, the river overflowed its banks, flooding several houses and a picnic area. Relevant services of the City Hall and equipment from the Road Department have been mobilized to the site. Work is underway in an intensive mode. We are in constant communication with the population and calm is maintained at this stage,” Diasamidze said.
