Tbilisi. The Public Defender is responding to an incident that took place in the veterans’ settlement on Ketevan Tsamebuli Steet on 14 July, Tbilisi, and calls on the Government to take timely and effective steps, as lives of people living there are in a real danger.

''On July 14, part of a ceiling and a wood-plank wall (dividing the room from the neighbor’s apartment) collapsed in the living room of M.Sh., who was in the room at that moment. He received injuries to the head and suffered mild brain concussion. The victim was taken to a hospital by an emergency team, which rendered him necessary medical assistance.

M.Sh. and S.G. still live in the mentioned building as they do not have anywhere to go. The Public Defender's representative visited their room and saw that the large part of the ceiling was collapsed, wooden floor was broken, plank walls were damaged and there was a danger that the ceiling would completely collapse,'' is noted in the statement.
