In Romania, the management of a salt mine was dismissed amid controversy after they continued tours without additional safety measures following a threatening collapse.
According to Digi24, as reported by "European Truth".
The incident occurred at the salt mine in Târgu Ocna, located in Bacău County near Moldova. Last Sunday, large salt blocks weighing several dozen kilograms fell from the ceiling onto the path in the area open to visitors. Fortunately, no one was injured.
After the incident, the administration cordoned off and marked the area where the block fell; however, contrary to regulations, they continued to allow tourists into the mine in the following days without providing any additional information.
When this came to light, the company Salrom, responsible for the mine, ordered an immediate closure for visitors, and both the director and deputy were fired.
The mine is a fairly well-known tourist attraction in Romania and even features an underground church in the salt cave, an underground sports area, amusement rides, and a café.
It is worth noting that in Serbia, a roof collapse at the train station in Novi Sad resulted in the deaths of 14 people, which sparked an anti-government protest with riots.
As a result of this incident, the Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure resigned.
