Dagestani acting President Ramazan Abdulatipov visited Gazprom Transgaz Makhachkala to discuss gas developments. He noted that the republic planned “new industrialization”, construction of new factories and reconstruction of gas pipelines. The pipelines will be extended to 1,500km in length, gas distribution networks to 13,000km. The Mozdok – Kazimagomed pipeline section needs reconstruction. Abdulatipov pointed out the problem of land for housing construction near pipelines.
Abdulatipov proposed formation of a land commission that will grant municipalities construction permits.
He also reminded about the needs to reconstruct gas-distribution stations in Kokrek, Mujukay and Chapayevo.
The acting president said that he had proposed selection of a gas supplier subordinate to Gazprom Mezhregiongaz. Gas should be provided to the population without intermediaries and exceeded prices. Abdulatipov will discuss the issue with Gazprom authorities.
