"The amendments establish that the gas supply to the site will be carried out without attracting funds from citizens, the connection process will be as convenient and simple as possible for people," RIA Novosti quotes the deputy.

According to him, the authors of the initiative are the chairmen of both chambers of parliament Valentina Matvienko and Vyacheslav Volodin, Secretary of the General Council of the United Russia party Andrei Turchak, head of the State Duma faction Sergei Neverov, Senator Andrei Kutepov and Zavalny himself.

It is planned that the project will be adopted before the end of the spring session.

During the announcement of the message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that citizens should not pay for gas supply directly to the border of the land plot, this should be done by the state.

He instructed the government, regional authorities, together with Gazprom and other gas distribution organizations, to provide gas supply to the borders of non-gasified households in gasified settlements until 2023.
