🚠 The Government of Georgia will demolish the Khatsvali-Zuruldi cable car in Svaneti and build a new and modern complex instead.
Cable car is 6 km from Mestia, it was inspected by the Construction Supervision Department, which concluded that it did not meet safety standards. Moreover, it turned out that the project does not have any technical documentation at all, and the foundation of its pillars was “improperly constructed”. In conclusion, it all these years, no technical diagnostics have been carried out on the cable car. And it was a miracle, there were no accidents. I was there and I know that people were sitting for an hour or two and waited to be removed from the booths stuck upstairs.
❗️A tender for 35 million lari has already been announced on the State Procurement website.

💉🚫🇱🇻 Georgia has given up 50,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines that the Latvian government has allocated to the country.
According to Prime Minister Garibashvili, "there are many other vaccines in the country, for example Sinovac, and they must be used first. Moreover, this particular vaccine is not in demand." However, according to the information of the TV channel Formulanews, the refusal is connected with the deterioration of relations between Georgia and the Baltic countries.
