As a result of the accident at the chemical plant, the villagers on the other side of the river were evicted and the Senenians left. A dozen families still live on contaminated land. There is no longer a ferry across the Neris, there is no bus to the suburb 12 km away. The children have to cross the river daily by boat and travel about 3 km to Rukla school.
