19 March 2020, Thursday

This was stated today by Yuri Venediktov, head of the Department of people's safety at water bodies of the EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan, during a planned patrol of the waters of the Kazanka and Volga rivers. The survey showed that the riverbeds are rapidly being freed from the ice shell. Along the edges of reservoirs and in bays, the ice is rapidly melting, which has already become loose with a fragile structure. No fishing on the last ice is out of the question. It is also necessary to protect children from dangerous adventures on the banks of lakes, ponds and rivers.
Yuri Venediktov noted that the current situation on the water bodies of the Republic of Tatarstan is extremely difficult and tense. - This year, the process of destruction of ice has begun almost a month annual averages - continued the head of Department of safety of people on water objects of the Main Department of EMERCOM of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan.
He also noted that at the moment, the raids on the water area and coastal strip are carried out by GIMS inspectors and rescuers not only in search of reckless fishermen, but also to prevent children and teenagers from entering the fragile ice. After all, students today went on vacation, which will last three weeks. 
 "Most children are on their own at this time. They need special attention, - said the chief state inspector of small vessels of the Republic of Tatarstan. Let me remind you that the Commission for emergency situations and fire safety of the Republic of Tatarstan has decided that children's access to water without an adult is equivalent to an administrative violation. All these cases are considered either by the district commissions on juvenile Affairs, or in the appropriate police Department, - warned Yuri Venediktov.
