Just a few months ago, the railway station of Novi Sad was opened after a major renovation. However, the shed that collapsed yesterday was not part of the reconstruction. This is reported by those who carried out the repair of the station.
The consortium of Chinese companies that renovated the building issued a press release. In it, they explain that the concrete shed was not the subject of repair work as part of the reconstruction of the station, in accordance with the approved building permit.
For 8 hours, firefighters, police and rescue workers using heavy equipment cleared the debris after the collapse of a shed at the Central Railway Station in Novi Sad in an attempt to find survivors. The toll after the worst incident in the city since the bombings of 25 years ago is 14 dead and three seriously injured. Among the victims is a 6-year-old child.
The concrete shed collapsed minutes before noon on Friday. Rescue teams from several cities immediately arrived at the scene. Heavy equipment was also dispatched to assist in the search for those trapped. The Prime Minister and the Ministers of Internal Affairs and Infrastructure came to the scene.
