Refugees stay without electricity and heat in the capital of Chechnya

For several days already, the Temporary Accommodation Centre (TAC) for forced migrants, located in Michurin settlement of the Oktiabrskiy District of the city of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, has been cut off from heat and electricity supplies.

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent has learnt about it from one of the residents of this TAC. According to the source, the forced migrants are requested to move out of the premises, as the authorities are planning to build an oncology centre on that land estate.

"Several families were removed to another TAC, located in the Zavodskoy District, although no conditions have been created there. And we faced serious problems. Several days ago gas and electricity were cut off. It's winter outside, there's negative temperature in the rooms, and we don't know what to do," the source said.

The Migration Service of Chechnya has refused to comment on the situation in the TAC of forced migrants in the Michurin settlement.
