The removal of the dangerous cisterns from the derailed train in Hitrino continues for a fourth consecutive day.

The eighth cistern is expected to be removed on Sunday. It was loaded successfully on Saturday but the operation had to be terminated due to darkness in the evening.

A week after the train accident in Hitrino which killed 7 people, the state of emergency remains in place until the completion of the repair works.

Residents of Hitrino still have no access to their homes but, for certain repair works, volunteers will be allowed in.

The company which owns the derailed train has to remove all dangerous cisterns within 15 days.

Bulgaria's institutions refused to commit to a deadline for the removal of the dangerous cisterns from Hitrino and letting in local residents.

At a briefing earlier on Wednesday, representatives of the Interior Ministry underlined that the most important thing is to avoid putting people's health and life at risk.

Emergency teams are to begin draining the dangerous materials out of several tanks that derailed in Hitrino in northeastern Bulgaria on Saturday morning.

Seven people died after one of the cisterns exploded. Twenty-nine were injured, while dozens of families lost their home after the blast left buildings in a 300m perimeter completely ravaged.
