Zilnin officials were obliged to install ramps in local administrations

The Prosecutor’s Office of the Tsilny district of the Ulyanovsk region revealed violations of the rights of persons with disabilities during the inspection of the administrations of the Novonikulinsky and Elhovoozersky rural settlements.

As established in the supervisory authority, the entrances to the buildings were not equipped with external buttons to call personnel for people with limited mobility. In addition, at the extreme steps of the entrance groups, there were no contrasting stripes that help people with visual impairments navigate.

The heads of administrations submitted submissions on elimination of violations, and in respect of them initiated cases of administrative offense under article 9.13 of the administrative code of the Russian Federation. After the intervention of the prosecutor’s office, all the shortcomings identified were eliminated.
