Counter-terrorist operation regime in Ghimry, Dagestan, lifted
Muhu Aliev, president of Dagestan, while visiting Untsukul district of Dagestan on August 1, announced that the counter-terrorist operation regime on the territory of the village of Ghimry, which lasted for eight months, had been lifted.
During his visit to Untsukul district, Aliev met with the local residents and the authorities. In the course of their talk with the president, residents of the Ghimry village expressed their satisfaction that the counter-terrorist operation was completed.
At the same time, Aliev was asked many questions related to the village infrastructure, which became acute after the introduction of the operation regime. Among them was the construction of the village school and lack of potable water in the village.
Muhu Aliev stated that all required resources would be allocated from the budget in order to complete the construction and prompt commissioning of the new school. As regards the potable water problem, the Dagestan president said that the republic would render assistance to the Ghimry village residents and the problem of water supply to the village would be solved during the current year.
In the course of the meeting, the Dagestan president stressed that he had primarily come to the village in order to express his gratitude to all residents of Ghimry for their patience and understanding in the course of conducting the counter-terrorist operation on the territory of the settlement.
However, as Muhu Aliev stressed, some law enforcement officers would still remain the village until the full completion of the previously set tasks on stabilization of the situation, capturing of the hiding criminals and bringing them before the court.
