Two days after the letter from the Merom Hagalil Council, and the day before the 7th of Adar – the celebration of Moshe Rabbeinu, in recent hours, IEC staff cut off the electricity from the Rashbi Zion complex in Meron.
On Sunday, it was revealed in Kikar Hashabat that in a special letter sent on behalf of the Merom Hagalil Regional Council and on behalf of the Fire and Rescue, Council Chairman Amit Sofer and District Fischer Oscar Fox announced that the celebration would not be approved due to safety deficiencies discovered in the scoreboard .
One of the worshipers tells in a conversation with Kikar Hashabat that the IEC personnel arrived around 16:00 in the afternoon and cut off the electricity, leaving the score and the adjacent rooms in the dark.
He said, “For several months now, everyone has witnessed the destruction of illegal buildings in Meron by the authorities, who he said did not express interest in making necessary electrical repairs across the grade for ten months, but now, a day before the hymn, they suddenly remembered there was a problem with the electricity system.” Great for the thousands of worshipers. “
It should be noted that in the morning, work began on erecting huge tents for the benefit of thousands of worshipers who are expected to visit Rashbi Zion starting tomorrow, but after several hours of work, and on the instructions of the council members, the work was stopped on the grounds that the tents did not receive the appropriate permits.
The IEC responded: “These are private networks that are not connected to the IEC. The IEC received an order to disconnect a dangerous facility from the director of the Electricity Administration at the Electricity Authority and, in accordance with the directive, disconnected the facilities from the company’s distribution network.”
