Ungheni's transport operator says double-charging is impossible. Its own website promises less — and nowhere does it say how you get your money back

Under the official notice about paying by card on the bus, people in Ungheni say they were charged twice and three times over, and one passenger says he paid 28 lei for a 6-lei ride. The operator guarantees on Facebook that «it is impossible to be charged twice». On its own portal, the guarantee is far narrower. We read the regulation approved by the local council, the operator's contract and the payment services law: the procedure by which a wrongly charged passenger gets their money back is written nowhere — but the law gives them firm deadlines, both with the operator and with the bank.

An 11-year-old boy lost in «Micul Cluj» park was walked home by carabinieri — the third person the same company has helped in 12 days

The boy, disoriented, could not find his own way home. Carabinieri on patrol identified where he lived and took him back to his parents. Across the whole country in 2025, carabinieri returned more than 20 lost children to their families — and the official rule when a child goes missing is to call 112 immediately, not after 24 hours.

35 million lei for the road to Plaiul Fagului: what is changing in Rădenii Vechi

Ungheni district president Dionisie Ternovschi and the district council's head of construction, Diana Rogovschi, filmed the state of the works on 10 July on the access road to the „Plaiul Fagului” reserve, in the village of Rădenii Vechi. The roughly 35-million-lei worksite has reached the culverts and drainage stage; the gravel road is getting a new foundation, concrete gutters and almost two kilometres of pavement. Placing the site footage next to the procurement document shows how much it costs, who is building it and what the project actually involves.

Ungheni drinks from the Prut and sends its wastewater into the same river. The town hall has called in the environmental scientists of USM

On 8 July, the town hall of Ungheni signed an agreement with the Institute of Ecology and Geography of the State University of Moldova, on wastewater, ecosystem services and ecological infrastructure. The stake is concrete: the town takes its drinking water from the Prut — for more than 40,000 people — and discharges its wastewater into the basin of the same Prut, through a treatment plant that, according to the town hall's own 2018 strategy, was running on the mechanical stage only. The USM researchers called to Ungheni are precisely the ones who measure how much such a plant degrades the river downstream.

Ungheni doesn't have Moldova's most expensive water: at 40.01 lei, it pays under half of Glodeni

Dozens of Ungheni residents wrote, under the news of the price hike, that the town supposedly has the most expensive water in Moldova. The tariffs approved by ANRE show the opposite: at 40.01 lei/m³, only seven towns charge less, while at least nineteen — from Cantemir to Glodeni — charge more, some nearly double. The difference comes from the number of consumers and the water source: Ungheni draws it, treated, from the Prut, while towns like Rîșcani pump it cheaply from artesian wells. And the sense that we pay the most comes from something else — the tariff has just risen, eleven days after we were promised it would stay unchanged.

On Suceava Street in Ungheni, carabinieri called an ambulance for an unconscious man — their second medical call-out in six days

While on patrol on Suceava Street, carabinieri from the Ungheni mobile intervention company found a man unconscious, called 112 and stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and took him to the Ungheni District Hospital. It is the second time in six days that the same unit has ended up, on patrol, in a first-aid role.

Sculeni adds flashing amber signals and red night lighting at the Ștefan cel Mare crossing — the commune's third reinforced crossing in a month

At one of Sculeni's busiest pedestrian crossings, on the Ștefan cel Mare road, the commune hall has installed two flashing amber signals, and at night the crossing is washed in red projector light. It is the third road-safety intervention in the commune in about a month — after the raised crossing by the lyceum and the painted crossing at Gherman — and each time with a different method.

90,000 lei for a well, yet Petrești still has no water: villagers demand an inquiry

Since late June, residents of Petrești commune (Ungheni district) have complained of going days on end with no water at the tap, especially in the “hill area”, and on 5 July they launched a petition to the mayor's office and the Local Council: they want an inquiry, a public schedule of the cut-offs and, if wrongdoing is found, the dismissal of the official in charge of water distribution. Mayor Serghei Gorea had already replied publicly on 27 June that the problem is being taken seriously — the commune dug a new well, for which the Council allocated 90,000 lei — and points to the drought and the heatwave. Petrești, one of the district's largest villages by number of houses connected to the mains (1,052), depends on its own municipal enterprise, Servicom-Petrești, not on Apă-Canal Ungheni.

578 pupils study next to the Sculeni junction where a raised pedestrian crossing now forces cars to slow down

At the junction of Ion Creangă and Alexandru cel Bun streets in Sculeni, next to the theoretical lyceum, the Arts School and the Health Centre, a raised pedestrian crossing has been built — the kind that physically forces drivers to slow down. The work was carried out by the National Roads Administration, after a request that began with local councillor Petru Iacobciuc.
