Currently, search operations are being continued by diver-rescuers of the State Service for Control over Small Vessels and Water Rescue of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) in the areas of Baku city where 4 people are presumed to have drowned at sea. Due to the windy weather conditions observed in the capital, the search is being carried out visually.
elchi reports that this was stated to “AzerTac” by Captain Farid Ilhamoglu, senior inspector of the Public Relations and Propaganda Department of the State Service for Control over Small Vessels and Water Rescue of the MES.
He stated that despite the mass awareness-raising work carried out by the MES, cases of violation of safety rules in non-beach areas and water basins by some citizens, especially children and teenagers, are encountered. Unfortunately, such cases often lead to bitter consequences.
He emphasized that in connection with the mentioned, the MES once again appeals to the public to strictly observe the relevant safety rules, not to use non-beach areas that do not operate as beaches, and especially not to enter the wavy sea in windy weather conditions. Most importantly, parents should not leave children unattended. Citizens should only use legal beach areas where rescuers operate.
“During the monitoring carried out by us, several dangerous areas have also been identified. Thus, the areas known as “Shimal Gres” and “Mil Gaya” located in the territory of Mardakan and Shuvalan settlements, “On ikinji dalan” and “Dachnik” located in Bilgah and Nardaran settlements, “Sari Gaya” between Novkhani and Saray settlements, as well as the place known as “Mayak” located in Sahil settlement have been recorded as the most dangerous areas. The presence of underwater currents, complex underwater relief, ravines, and pits in these places poses a direct threat to human life and health. Citizens are advised to stay away from such areas. They should only use controlled beach areas where rescuers operate,” the inspector emphasized.
