Kobzev generally positively assessed the progress of the restoration work following the visit to the most affected areas of the Angara River flood.

“Having examined the construction sites, I see that there is movement forward: global projects, including those regarding the future residence of residents, the creation of infrastructure, are being implemented. I hope that, given the full restoration and creation of infrastructure, we will cope with the aftermath of the flood by August next year, ”the press service of the regional government quotes him.

It is specified that Kobzev visited the Tulun and Nizhneudinsky districts, where he examined, in particular, the apartment buildings under construction.

Earlier it was reported that Kobzev visited one of the schools affected by the flood of Tulun and talked with the residents of the city.

In October, it was reported that about 16 billion rubles will be allocated for the economic development of the Angara region.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed to completely restore the destroyed infrastructure of the Irkutsk region by 2023.
