In the Grenoble suburb of Échirolles, residents of the Le Carrare building have been ordered to evacuate within 72 hours due to severe safety concerns.

The local mayor, Amandine Demore, declared the building a "permanent death risk" due to extensive damage caused by drug traffickers.

Since 2021, the building has been a hub for drug activity, leading to deteriorated electrical systems and increased fire hazards.

Recent gang-related shootings have further escalated the situation, prompting urgent evacuation orders.

The municipality is working on emergency relocation plans for the affected residents.

Meanwhile, the nearby journalism school is considering relocation due to the ongoing violence, highlighting the broader impact of the drug crisis in the area.
