The case of the poisoning of kindergarten children in Paraul has reached the court.

The prosecutor's office has submitted the case of the head of the kindergarten "Chudo" to the Karabudakhkent District Court, in which 10 children were poisoned by carbon monoxide in early February.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in early March, the prosecutor's office in the Karabudakhkent District of Dagestan achieved a strict preventive measure for the head of the childcare center in the village of Paraul, where the children were poisoned by carbon monoxide.

On February 2, 10 children from a private kindergarten in the village of Paraul in the Karabudakhkent District were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning. Later, three out of the 10 children were discharged from the hospital. The cause of the poisoning was identified as a heating device improperly connected to the gas pipeline. On February 4, all affected children were discharged from the hospital. On February 7, the "Chudo" children's center in Paraul was closed by the decision of Rospotrebnadzor and sealed. The agency filed a lawsuit to suspend the operation of the institution.

The Karabudakhkent District Prosecutor's Office has approved an indictment in the criminal case against the head of the kindergarten. She is accused of providing services that do not meet the safety requirements for the life and health of consumers .

According to the investigation, the woman opened a private kindergarten, where she used a gas stove-burner that she had installed herself. The use of such a stove is only permissible when it is located in non-residential open spaces, the Dagestan prosecutor's office reports on its Telegram channel.

The reasons for the accumulation of combustion products from the open-type burner in the building were the lack of control over the operation of the gas equipment, the failure to conduct scheduled inspections, and the absence of ventilation channels. As a result, 10 minor children present in the room were poisoned.

The criminal case has been sent to the Karabudakhkent District Court for consideration on the merits, the supervisory authority clarified.

Earlier, the prosecutor's office reported that the one-story building rented by the individual entrepreneur was constructed without the necessary permits. The agency has filed a lawsuit for its demolition.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that due to a fire that occurred on January 14 in the "Ulybka" kindergarten in the village of Karata, the building and nearby outbuildings were completely burned down. According to one version, the cause of the fire was a short circuit in the wiring, as the automatic fire alarm was not operational.
