A. Arustas, a resident of Dėdeliškės village, claims that the residents were left homeless during the quarantine and that the police officers do not understand.
The boundaries of the municipality are crossed on all roads.
The village of Dėdeliškės is located in the Trakai District, near the border between the Trakai District Municipality and the Vilnius City Municipality. According to A.Arusto, from this border to the nearest store in Grigiškės, at Lentvario str. 2A, is about 700 meters. However, Daiva Arust, the resident’s wife, was unable to go there because the police, who had installed a checkpoint at the municipal border, did not allow her to go shopping, even after explaining the situation.
“The closest thing, during the quarantine, is ‘legal’, that is, in the same municipality
The store is located in Lentvaris, but to get there you also have to cross Grigiškės (about 1 km) ”, says the resident.
To get from the village of Dėdeliškės to the Lentvaris shop in the same municipality, it is necessary to cross the borders of the Vilnius municipality.
“The alternative is to drive to Lentvaris via Kariotiškės, a dangerous, steep and icy gravel road, where many fatal accidents have occurred, and the distance to there is about 7 km, which is even 10 times longer than the store of Grigiškės, “he continues.
From the village of Dėdeliškės to the Lentvaris store, you can go through Kariotiškės, but the road is very dangerous and much longer.
The closest shop to the settlement is in Grigiškės, but according to the municipal boundaries, it is no longer there, in the Trakai district municipality, where the village of Dėdeliškės is located. A. Arustas, a resident of this village, did not doubt that the police would understand the plight of the villagers and would allow them to go shopping, but this did not happen.
“On January 10 of this year. Around 4 pm my wife was going to go to the Norfa store (Grigiškės, Lentvario str. 2A) for food. On the way, on highway 4731, she was stopped by a team from the police and was not allowed to continue driving, arguing that the store is in another municipality (I remember, up to 700 meters).
When asked what to do, he offered to turn around and go back. The action took place on a narrow road, in the middle of a forest, on a steep hill, a turning maneuver posed a serious danger to road safety. When the wife tried to explain that it was absurd, it was said that those laws were both threatened with a fine and ridiculed. The wife returned with great emotion and crying ”, A. Arustas explains the unpleasant situation.
On the map, A. Arust indicates in red circles the location of the store he wanted to go to, and in a blue circle, the place where the police stopped the car and headed for Atfal.
A. Arustas notes that his wife explained to the police that the villagers have no other way out of the store, but the officials, according to the neighbor, not only did not take this into account, but they also communicated in a very unpleasant way.
“Such an absurd situation, it seems, the police could verify that we are really registered in that town to look at, but they took and said: ‘It’s not our problem, turn around and come back. There is probably more than one such situation in Lithuania. ” 15 minutes he says.
Did officials have to fail?
The man then called the police to ask how his wife and the officers had acted when she stopped him on the road.
“The responding officer explained with normality and courtesy that the police officers who detained my wife had to understand the situation and allow it to continue, but it happened as described,” says A. Arustas.
There is also the question of what neighbors without a car should investigate. Would they also have to walk seven kilometers of the ring road?
“Okay, we have a car, and if there is a grandmother, what, she also has to walk about seven kilometers on gravel roads to the store and back, when there are some steps here (to the store in Grigiškės, outside the municipality from town – 15 minutes) ”, Asks rhetorically a resident of the village of Dėdelišk ,s, who is actively engaged in the affairs of the settlement community.
It highlights that there are neighbors in the town who do not have a car and some do not know how to use the Internet, so they cannot order food at home.
The decision is made by the official
Due to the situation 15 minutes he turned to the police. Ramūnas Matonis, a representative of the Police Department, told the media that the control was carried out in accordance with the Government’s resolution. And decisions about individual situations are made by officials at the checkpoint.
“The police exercise control in accordance with the resolution of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. According to this resolution, going to the store to make purchases is not included among the objective reasons that would be justified when crossing the limits of another municipality. Therefore, in such situations, only an official working at the checkpoint can make a different decision, after evaluating all the circumstances (for example, that there are no specific goods in the area that are necessary for the resident, etc.) .
Before this weekend, the police stations were allowed to independently assess the layout of the checkpoints and make decisions that would allow adequate control of the movement of people and avoid unnecessary inconvenience to residents, especially those living in municipalities. bordering cities “. 15 minutes R. Matonis said.
The government extended the quarantine regime due to the spread of COVID-19 until January 31. During quarantine, movement is allowed only when necessary, the movement of people between municipalities is restricted.
Close contact between more than one family and / or one household member is not possible. In public places, there can be a maximum of 2 groups of people or groups of a family and / or a household member.
On Saturday, almost 1,500 people were handed over to the checkpoints. cars, 341 people were fined for violating quarantine requirements, BNS reported.
