Lukashenko receives report from Minsk mayor

MINSK, 12 September (BelTA) - Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko heard out a report from Minsk Mayor Vladimir Kukharev on the improvement of the Belarusian capital as he visited the reconstructed Loshitsa complex in Minsk on 12 September, BelTA has learned.

“Have we restored everything here?” Aleksandr Lukashenko asked upon arrival at the complex. He was informed that there were still two sites left in the park territory where work needed to be completed.

Vladimir Kukharev reported on the implementation of the plan for improving courtyard areas, the repair and painting of buildings, the repair of the street-road network, the planting of trees and greenery, the installation of small architectural forms, and the arrangement of children's playgrounds. Eighteen recreation areas (two in each residential area in Minsk) have been improved.

The reconstruction of the Maksim Gorky Central Children's Park has been completed. Works in Hugo Chavez Park are at the final stage. By the end of the year, plans are in place to begin work on the territory of Pishchalovsky Castle. The proposal to establish a public catering point there with national cuisine dishes is under consideration.

A new area of work in Minsk is civil initiatives on the improvement of courtyard areas, including through people’s financial contribution. Fourteen such projects have been implemented this year. People have contributed Br4.6 million for these purposes.

According to the president, this work should be included in the list of tasks for the heads of the Minsk district administrations. “It is necessary to work on this. It is necessary to mobilize, unite, persuade, ask, propose, and demand from people. Everyone should contribute at least a small amount of money together with the state [to the improvement efforts],” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “It is necessary to work on this, because it is for the people.”
