An arson attack was carried out during the night between Monday and Tuesday against an excavator of the Vicenza company carrying out work on the construction of the Cumbidanovu dam, in Orgosolo.

The news, kept confidential for a few days, leaked out only today, when the owners of the vehicle reported the attack to the Carabinieri barracks, which began investigations.

There is no doubt that it was a malicious act: the military seized a large stone used by the criminals to shatter the passenger compartment of the vehicle in which they inserted flammable liquid before setting fire and completely destroying the excavator. This is the second attack against one of the contractors for the works on the dam. In 2018, another fire destroyed the offices of the management of the works in the infinite construction site, in this case because the works had been stopped following a dispute with the contractor. The works had only restarted last summer.

The construction of the Orgosolo dam began in 1989 for the creation of a reservoir of 11 million cubic meters of water, useful for the supply of the territories of Nuoro, Orgosolo, Oliena, Dorgali, Lula and Orune. A fundamental work especially in periods of drought like this, but between disputes, damages, natural disasters (in 2013 it was damaged by the Cicone Cleopatra) and difficulties in finding resources, the works have not yet been completed.
