Gas and electricity cuts continue to plague life in Tbilisi, where several heavily populated neighborhoods have also been left without drinking water due to the power cuts. Traffic in the Georgian capital has been unusually light in recent days, public transport has virtually ground to a halt and streets all over the city are buried in snow. The local administration said on Thursday that kerosene would be sold at three locations in Tbilisi at a quarter its market price. Long lines of people have already formed, but nobody is selling kerosene at moment. People are also queuing up near mobile filling stations. All schools and theaters have been closed. The Georgian authorities have promised to restore electricity supplies in full by Friday evening. (Interfax)
