Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the Republic of Tatarstan is continuing to execute housing certificates for Chernobyl cleanup veterans and displaced people.

As far as large families having 5 or more children are concerned, of 39 housing certificates in the amount of 110 million rubles only 23 certificates have been implemented.

Troubled apartment houses are being monitored. In Kazan among 14 objects under construction one object has a schedule delay (as far as external heating networks are concerned): 48 square meters in Ulyanov-Lenin Street, 25 (builder “Firma Svei” LLC).

According to the program of construction of rural clubs Aktanyshsky, Apastovsky, Bugulminsky, Verkhneuslonsky, Elabuzhsky, Kaibitsky, Kamsko-Ustyinsky, Leningorsky and Muslyumovsky areas have delays in their construction schedules.

 “As of today, among 46 clubs the commissioning term was extended only for two of them. The remaining areas are to commission the facilities on September 30th, 2012. Nine areas of the Republic will not be able to do this by this time”, said the Head of the Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the Republic of Tatarstan.
According to the program on failing housing stock elimination among 29 municipalities only 15 areas submitted municipal contracts and purchase agreements. Among these 15 areas only 8 municipal areas have submitted municipal contracts and purchase agreements for the entire amount of the program: Alekseyevsky, Apastovsky, Arsky, Verkhneuslonsky, Kamsko-Ustyinsky, Nizhnekamsky, Spassky and Tukayevsky areas.

A letter with the reference of a check date for the construction period and the execution of municipal contracts and repurchase agreements i.e. September 24th, 2012, has been sent to the heads of municipalities of the Republic.
Irek Faizullin said that if the specified measures were not accomplished before the deadline the allocated funds would be disposed from the areas. “If an area can not manage it the money will be given to the area that will be able to use it”, he said. Yelabuzhsky, Tukayevsky and Mendeleyevsky municipal areas put republican target programs in jeopardy.

Rustam Minnikhanov criticized the heads of area who failed their duties. “Rural clubs should have been already built. Money is being allocated, people you trust, and you still can not solve this problem”, said the President of Tatarstan to the heads of areas where there are delay in schedules of construction.
The Head of the Republic said that in order to build one club and it is, by and large, one house, one needed not much effort, however, not all heads of areas coped with this task. “People need accommodation, clubs and other facilities which are to be constructed within the set time limits. If the heads of areas did not do their job, then it means that it is necessary to draw appropriate conclusions. I'm going to have to make decisions, people do not have to suffer because of nonfeasance of a head of a municipality, we do not need such workers”, said                       Rustam Minnikhanov. He stressed that the heads of areas had to both commission the objects for which the money had been allocated and attract investments.
