Police station building in Jēkabpils closed after ceiling plaster falls
Plaster has fallen from the ceiling in a building of the State Police's East Zemgale station in Jēkabpils, and its use has been prohibited. Staff will work elsewhere until the safety risks are eliminated.
In Jēkabpils, plaster has fallen from the ceiling in one of the buildings of the State Police's East Zemgale station, and the building may no longer be used. Officers and staff who work there will operate from other premises until the safety risks are eliminated.
The state agency responsible for the property acknowledges that the building has not undergone major renovation because of a lack of funding. The situation was reported by the LSM programme "Let's Discuss in the Evening" (Obsudim vecherom).
The source does not say how long the building will remain closed, when the risks are expected to be fixed, or whether anyone was hurt. It also does not specify where employees are working for now or whether the station's service to the public is limited.
The case shows that the upkeep of state institutions' premises can depend on available funding: the absence of a capital renovation has, in this instance, led to the closure of the building.
