“I’ve been assured that the road will be open until the evening,” he said.

The MP added that media reports on nearby village residents being evacuated are fake news. “The vehicles located on the road were evacuated yesterday evening. But the press reported that the population of nearby villages is being evacuated. I refuted that information.”
