| YABLOKOs leader Sergei Mitrokhin who is now in the working
visit in Udmurtia is going to demand from Prime Minister Putin
to implement his promises on providing aid to the victims
of explosions at a military arsenal near Pugachyovo village
on June 2-3, 2011. According to the local residents who came
to meet Mitrokhin, the money allotted by the government for
repairs and building of new houses did not come to the village.
Most
Over 60 residents came to meet Sergei Mitrokhin and Sergei
Pechenin, leader of the Udmurtian branch of YABLOKO. According
to the local residents, most of them did not get the compensations
and repairs were too slow, consequently the village was not
ready for the winter.
However the local authorities loudly announced by television
that every local resident had obtained RUR 100,000 of compensation
(approximately USD 3,330). People deny this telling that they
have to sign falsified payment receipts on implementation
of all the repair works threatening of non-paying the compensation.
An inspection conducted by Mitrokhin showed that a lot of
houses damaged by explosions were not repaired. For example
the house of handicapped Denis Gutinin had been still lacking
a roof damaged by the explosion.
However, Prime Minister Putin had promised to allot RUR 2
billion on repairs in the village, but only half of the amount
was actually transferred to the region. Transfer of the remaining
RUR 1 billion can not be done without report by the local
authorities on their spending of the first half of the amount.
We can see now how the allotted billion has been digested
by construction companies and bureaucrats linked with them.
The costs of the works have been largely overestimated, but
if people begin repairs of their houses independently, the
costs are, on the opposite, considerably underestimated,
Mitrokhin said.
According to Mitrokhin, he is going to prepare an address
to Prime Minister basing of the citizens claims asking Vladimir
Putin to implement his promises on compensation of not only
actual, but also of moral damage. According to local residents,
even on the first day of the disaster the victims did not
get either humanitarian or psychological aid, consequently
children developed neuropsychiatric disorders, Mitrokhin
added.
