Families affected by hail and strong winds in the eastern Georgian region of Kakheti on Sunday will receive compensation for the damage caused by the weather, the Government Administration said on Monday.
The decision, made on the initiative of Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, will aim to help the locals whose property and farms were damaged as the adverse weather conditions hit the locality overnight between Sunday and Monday.
Giorgi Aladashvili, the State Representative in Kakheti, said “all relevant agencies” were mobilised to respond to the damage caused by the weather and added damages were being measured.
The hail and wind damaged houses, cars, vineyards and agricultural fields in Telavi, Kvareli and Lagodekhi municipalities while also uprooting trees and downing power lines.
