Exceptional fifth-level fire danger

Weather forecasters warn that an exceptional fire danger of the fifth level will persist in the period between May 31 and June 7. The yellow warning covers wooded strips and crop fields, IPN reports.

The State Weather Service said the warning is issued in connection with the shortage of precipitation. Temperatures varying between +25 and + 3 degrees Celsius are expected the next few days.

Contacted by IPN for details, press officer of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations Liliana Pușcașu called on the population not to use fire in forests, parks and wooded areas as any source of fire that gets out of control can cause large-scale fires when the level of humidity is low. In case of fire, one should immediately call the 112 Service so that the firefighting teams could extinguish the fires at initial stages.

Since the start of the year, the firefighters conducted over 3,600 operations to put out fires. The fire destroyed over 24,000 hectares of vegetation.



Economic operators and service providers will be required to ensure the accessibility of products and services for people with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with temporary or permanent functional limitations. The accessibility requirements are contained in a bill voted on in the first reading by Parliament, reports IPN.

The new requirements will target six areas: technology and software programs, e-commerce, financial services, transportation, services provided by public institutions, and emergency communications. The regulations will also apply to electronic communication services, access to audiovisual media services, web pages, mobile applications, and self-service terminals.

Accessibility requirements will also be mandatory for certain products, such as hardware systems, payment terminals, ATMs, and e-book readers. Micro-enterprises that offer services will be exempt from complying with these obligations.

The project, developed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, aims to increase the autonomy and inclusion of people who face access difficulties.

Non-compliance with accessibility requirements will be subject to administrative penalties. The project will be examined in the second reading, and the new rules will come into effect on January 1, 2028, with certain exceptions for products and services.

A new section of Muncesti Road has entered the rehabilitation process. The City Hall of Chisinau announces that the milling works on the roadway have begun on the sector between Arca Moldovei Street and Bacioii Noi Street, a stage that precedes the complete modernization of the asphalt surface, reports IPN.

On this section, with an area of approximately 23 thousand square meters, two layers of asphalt concrete are to be applied, the stormwater drainage channels are to be rehabilitated, and the shoulders are to be arranged with crushed stone.

In parallel, on the sector between Arca Moldovei Street and Iuri Gagarin Boulevard, the rehabilitation works using Slurry Seal technology are nearing completion. During this period, the second layer, the wear layer, is being applied, which serves to protect the road surface and extend its service life.

According to the municipality, after the completion of the works, Muncesti Road will have a modernized roadway, with better traffic conditions and an increased level of safety for traffic participants.
