(KZN.RU, March 6, Mikhail Chentsov). Repairs in Kazan started in 67 houses of 244, included in the overhaul program in 2017. Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee and the chairman of the Housing Committee, said this today at the traditional staff meeting in the Executive Committee.

As the speaker noted, it is planned to complete the entire set of works in 130 houses in the amount of 1 billion rubles. The renovation of houses is planned for a total amount of 1.5 billion rubles this year.

Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, said that from a half billion of the allocated funds, more than half (51% or 776 million) is the means of the population. According to the Mayor, such distribution of the financial burden plays a weighty role in the implementation of the overhaul program. “While other cities were talking, the issue has been resolved in Tatarstan. Kazan became one of the first capitals of the Federation’s subject, which has found an understanding with the public. The result speaks for itself: more than 40% of housing has been repaired for today. This is a major program, it affects the interests of every citizen”, I. Metshin shared his opinion.

The Head of the capital also noted that the city authorities appreciate the view of Kazan citizens during the overhaul. “The common truth for us is to coordinate all work on the overhaul with the population and make it accepted by the population. It is important that engineering filling of houses is capitally repaired: instruments of weather regulation and meters are installed, the mass transition to individual heating units takes place, which will allow the population to save money on payment of utility bills”, said the Mayor of Kazan.

In addition to the program of repair of houses in his report, I. Giniyatullin also announced plans for 2017 to upgrade community facilities. He said that 122 general educational institutions repaired in the amount of 2.8 billion rubles for the 5 years of the overhaul program in schools over 30 years old, which was launched at the initiative of Rustam Minnikhanov, the President of Tatarstan. As I. Giniyatullin noted, repairs will take place in 12 schools in 2017, and only four educational institutions will remain unrepaired.

Ilsur Metshin particularly marked the importance of the presidential program, pointing out that the conditions, in which Kazan schools were for decades were awful. “Thanks to the President for one of the 35 unique republican presidential programs. It is coming to an end there are only few unrepaired school over 30 years left in Kazan. We will gradually move from the overhaul of schools for the repair of kindergartens. If in two years we have done seven, this year we will do nine”, concluded the Mayor.
