Two last tent refugee camps in Ingushetia to be dismantled by mid-March
This was announced by a source at the Chechen government. About 650 families of internally displaced persons live in these camps now. Officials assert there are conditions and housing in reserve for their living in Chechnya. They explain the necessity to liquidate the tent camps by poor living conditions there, "Tents have decayed, their operating period expired long ago, people often fall ill." At the same time Chechen government officials deny forcing the refugees to remove.
