All five villages turned out isolated at Akhmeta district in Ilto ravine, three villages at Kvareli in Intsoba ravine, at Sagarejo in Gombori ravine, at Gurjaani in Cheremi ravine, in Ziari and Phoveli, in Kedebi zone of Dedoplistskaroyskom district.
The snow height reaches 0.5 meters in the mountain villages. The snow keeps going, local residents told the Kakheti Information Center
"Hardware does not have time to clear the roads. Therefore, we use two-axle vehicles and ramming snow, so people could move by foot. In the first place we will clean main streets of the city, and then begin to clear the road to the Ilto valley. Chartala residents were supplied with food, because this village is located 25 kilometers from the district center and the population cannot reach it by themselves," the head of the municipality Ahmed Koba Maisuradze told Information Center.
