Acting Prime Minister Mihai Fifor announced on Thursday that due to unfavourable weather conditions, operative teams have intervened throughout the night to prevent roadblocks.
"There have been a few situations indeed more complicated, but these have been solved, I think, in an extremely operative manner. I requested all my colleagues ministers involved in this operation (...) to intervene and stand prepared at any moment," Fifor stated at the video-conference with the prefects of the counties affected by extreme meteorological phenomena, at the Internal Affairs Ministry (MAI) seat.
He specified that presently, there are no "significant roadblocks" which demonstrates "that every institution in its turn has understood to do its duty and continues to do so."
Internal Affairs Minister Carmen Dan announced Thursday morning that power supply has been cut off due to snowstorm in 132 localities in 13 counties, as many as 32,000 consumers being affected.
"We are facing the first more severe winter episode. (...) This night we haven't recorded any serious situations or people snowbound, isolated localities, without any access to them. We do have, however, localities were the power supply has been cut off due to snowstorm. According to this morning's data, we had 132 localities in 13 counties where the power supply was cut off. This means that approximately 32,000 people are affected but Electrica told us they are working on it (...) with 93 teams in the field," Carmen Dan told the video-conference with the prefects, organised at the seat of MAI.
