Housing for orphans

1179 people were registered to receive comfortable housing according to the Ministry of Social Protection and Labor, as of January 1. According to the head of the state administration Oleg Dovgopol, it is necessary to make changes to the current legislation in order to solve the problem.

The state administration of Tiraspol proposes to allow the purchase of housing for orphans in new housing under construction.

Alexander Korshunov invited Tiraspol deputies to take part in the work on these legislative initiatives.

Vadim Doni assured in turn that the City Council will soon present its proposals on these initiatives.

Repair of yard and intra-block roads

They talked at the session of the capital's City Council about a long-standing problem – the repair and maintenance of building and intra-block driveways. Repairs are required today in almost every yard, but there are not enough funds in the Road Fund. The fact is that intra-house and intra-block driveways are not included in the total length of roads when distributing financial resources to municipalities within the Road Fund. Funds for the repair of intra-house and intra-block driveways are allocated on a residual basis because of this.

President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic Vadim Krasnoselsky gave instructions to solve the problem by revising the principle of distribution of the Road Fund. Work to find an optimal solution continues; the relevant legislations of the PMR President are under consideration in the Supreme Council.
