Ungheni raion asks the government for 65.5 million lei for the damage left by the 22 May rains

The raion's Commission for Emergency Situations approved on 20 July the figures for the 22 May storm: direct damage of 39.923.838 lei and a repair requirement of 67.624.095,03 lei, of which local budgets cover 2.159.750 lei — 3.2%. The request to the government, 65.473.345,03 lei, is 2.788.185,25 lei smaller than the one approved by the decision of 8 June, after the file was redone on the observations of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations and of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development. The sum is more than twice the raion's annual road budget.

840,000 lei from three disused medical buildings. Nobody wanted the former hospital in Bușila

On 23 June, Ungheni District Council put three property complexes up for auction. The primary document reveals what they actually were: all three are former health facilities — a former family doctors' office at Curtoaia, the former physiotherapy block at Cornești, and the former hospital at Bușila. The first two sold for 840,000 lei, and the smallest of them fetched 4.7 times its valuation. For the former hospital, not a single bidder registered — and the regulations allow it to fall, in time, to half the price now being asked. The buyers' names are not public.

18 in favour, 11 abstentions: five villages lose their health centre, and the decision does not say what happens to the doctor

On 18 June, Ungheni District Council voted to merge the district's health centres — from 11 down to 6. Mănoilești, Valea Mare, Cetireni, Rădenii Vechi and Petrești lose their own institution. The plan is a mechanical application of a national threshold: the centres that survive are exactly those with more than 6,000 people on their lists. But it was the only contested vote of the whole sitting — 11 of the 29 councillors present abstained — and at that same sitting the council extended the contracts of the heads of two centres it was in the act of dissolving.

After 18 drownings nationwide, Ungheni District sends police and border guards on Prut river patrols

The Ungheni District Commission for Emergency Situations ordered joint patrols by police, rescuers and the border police in swimming spots along the Prut, including at weekends, and found that the municipal water rescue post must be brought up to standard. At the same meeting, emergency-fund requests from four mayoralties were sent back, for incomplete files.
