More than 100 ground troops and 50 air force personnel are taking part in the efforts to clear up after the big floods in Karlovo municipality. More than 200 houses in six villages in Karlovo region have been flooded, BNR’s correspondent in Plovdiv Kremena Daneva reports.
It will take two months to eliminate the damage inflicted, Karlovo Mayor Emil Kabaivanov says. After the debris is cleared up, there will be damage assessment. In the village of Bogdan, trees, buildings and utility poles have been knocked down. Around 60 volunteers started clearing up the silt, mud and timber clogging the streets and houses in Karavelovo.
“The courtyard is silted up, the whole house had walls all around, now they are down. The river actually passed through here.” “There is silt in my home about a meter high and more. We shall get this thing removed by and by.” “At the moment the river is back in its bed, but the village is a gully.” That is what the owners of the flooded houses in Karavelovo say.
Food and water is being distributed in the blocked regions. Volunteers keep arriving from all over the country.
