Statement – on disinformation spread regarding Chiatura cableway project

July 28, 2020

 Information spread by one of media companies allegedly stating that the cableway under construction in Chiatura has suffered roof damage as a result of rain, is intentionally fabricated and serves the purpose of misleading the public.   

 Chiatura cableway construction project commissioned by the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia  is in active phase and will be completed by the year-end.  Specialists of French companies “Poma” and “Tekcable” are already engaged in construction works.   

At this point in time, construction works for structural part are completed along with cable installation in two directions. Interior part of the cableway station roofing is currently undergoing scheduled painting works. 

Final stage of cableway construction project implies construction of the remaining two directions of the cableway, testing of all four stations and introduction of safety regulations.

Following completion of cableway and station construction works, the central station and four directions originating therefrom will be fully rehabilitated. 

The Municipal Development Fund of Georgia is permanently and actively communicating with media right for the purpose of keeping the population abreast of events through accurate records.   

Based on above, we would like to kindly request media companies to refrain from spreading unverified information and deceiving public.
