Boiler rooms of "Vladikavkaz Heating System" have been disconnected from the gas supply by "Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Pyatigorsk" because of a debt of 1.385 billion rubles, the press service of the gas company said.

The debt for gas of "Vladikavkaz Thermal Networks" in mid-July of this year has exceeded 111 million rubles. The company is the successor to "Vladikavkazteploservis", which previously rented its boilers, and the total debt of both companies is 1.385 billion rubles, Interfax reports.
