Rustam Minnikhanov: Gas supply safety is safety of the whole republic

At today’s weekly session Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov asked to take issues of safety of gas supply objects under special control.

Director General of OAO “Gasprom-Transgas Kazan” Rafkat Kantyukov made report on safe operation of gas pipelines. He pointed out that violations are often revealed in protected zones. Very often houses are located close to gas supply objects.

Rafkat Kantyukov also told about plans on constructing new main and distribution pipelines. He noted that problems with land owners often occur because they increase rental fees.

Director General of OAO “Gasprom-Transgas Kazan” asked heads of regions to get involved in solving these problems, and also pay attention to debtors.

Rustam Minnikhanov asked to stop those land owners who try to make profit out of needs of gas workers.
