In particular, the head of the Mokshan area Nikolai Tikhomirov informed that the administration established contact with the public and civil organizations in regards to cleaning forest ground, planting new trees and disposing of flammable dry branches.

According to him, there are dry tree cutting brigades throughout the area, and citizens are able to use them for fire; the works were done not only on the streets, but also along the federal and intramunicipal highways, Nikolai Tikhomirov reported.

In turn, Alexander Kuligin, head of the Issa area administration, told the authorities about the work to improve water fonts, repairs on wells and roads, improvement of urban lightning, upkeep of cemeteries, and attracting investors.

Thanks to those measures, the Issa area repaired 48 wells and water fonts, he noted.
