Part of the settlements in the Plovdiv region, which were affected by the floods after the heavy rains in the amount of nearly 200 l/sq.m, now have electricity supply. The water supply is gradually being restored. The clearing of sediments continues, as well as the restoration of the infrastructure of the 3 most affected villages - Bogdan, Karavelovo and Slatina. There are no people in distress who are not sheltered, said the mayor of Karlovo municipality Emil Kabaivanov, BNR Plovdiv reported. Food and water are distributed to those affected.

A mobile group from the Ministry of the Interior issues identity documents on the spot in the flooded villages.
