30 May 2013, Thursday
Another environmental raid for journalists was organized today by the employees of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Tatarstan. The inspectors of the Central Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources have examined the territories of garage cooperatives in Kirovsky district to find a number of breaches. Particularly, the garage cooperative № 6 has come to the top for illegal dumping of construction and household wastes by the shore line of the old course of Kazanka river with the purpose of extending territory. The cooperative has 24h security that renders impossible access for unauthorized people to bring and leave garbage. Cleaning and removal of garbage has also not been duly organized. Waste containers are missing. Greasy rags and worn-out spare parts are scattered throughout the territory. This fact caused the initiation of administrative inquiry by the inspectors of the Central Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Tatarstan.
As part of the new national project "Environmental well-being" Tatarstan has planned the implementation of 8 environmental initiatives with total funding of 3 billion rubles. The main part of the funds will be used for work on the federal project "Water of Russia", Minister of Ecology Azat Ziganshin said at a briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan.
