April 29). Rustam Minnikhanov, the President of Tatarstan, and Ilsur Metshin,
the Mayor of Kazan, took part in the traditional spring campaign “Forest
Planting Day” today. It was held in the framework of the republican subbotnik
on cleaning the territory of the Pobeda Memorial Park. Heads of the republic
and its capital together with representatives of national-cultural autonomies
planted young lilac bushes in the park.
“The year
of ecology already gives the first results. A huge number of people with their
families went to the subbotnik, which takes place in Pobeda Park today. The event
is timed to the forthcoming holiday of the Great Victory. The old foliage was
removed, all was cleaned, and trees were planted. I think everyone will be
proud of their involvement in this great work”, said Rustam Minnikhanov in an
interview with media representatives.
The
President of the RT also noted that a large program for the improvement of
parks and squares, landscaping of public recreation areas will be continued in
the republic this year, reports the Tatarstan Government Portal.
