October 11 - a day of mourning in Georgia

October 11 has been declared a day of mourning in Georgia due to the tragedy in Batumi.

Today flags on all government buildings in Georgia are flying at half-mast.

A residential building on 26 May Street in Batumi collapsed on October 8. The collapse killed 9 people, 3 of them minors.

The Ministry of Interior detained three people over the incident, including a ground floor flat owner and two construction-renovation workers, for carrying out construction and renovation works in gross violation of safety rules, that led to the collapse.
