The prosecutor's office of the Novosibirsk region finds out why the streets of Iskitima cleaned from snow disabled people

The Iskitim Interdistrict Prosecutor Denis Serebryakov organized an audit of information posted in the media about violation of the rights of disabled people, the prosecutor's office of the Novosibirsk region reports .

"According to media reports, wheelchair users are forced to independently clear the snow in the city of Iskitima," the report said. Photos of people with disabilities, who, instead of communal services workers, clear roads and sidewalks, are posted in the public "Typical Novosibirsk" on the VKontakte social network.

The prosecutor's office will check compliance with the legislation on the protection of the rights of disabled people, the execution by the responsible bodies and organizations of the legislation on road safety, as well as the rules and norms of the operation of the housing fund (in terms of winter cleaning of the surrounding area from snow). If there are grounds, response measures will be taken.

The wheelchair users themselves said that after cleaning the roadway with tractors, the block of snow overlaps the passage for low-mobility. Because of this, they could not drive in strollers along the sidewalk and were forced to pick up the snow removal instrument, Vesti. Novosibirsk reports.
