According to the president, “those who, in pursuit of profit, for some other reason” neglect the safety of people, should be asked “according to the law, harshly”.
He also commented on the preliminary findings of the investigation that at the Listvyazhnaya mine, systematic measures were taken to conceal the facts of gas contamination.
“Someone did it?
Why, to get more there and send for export? "
- quotes him as RIA Novosti.
He recalled that this led to a tragic result.
“Now we are all sitting and all our heads are down,” added the head of state.
At the meeting, Putin said that, according to the investigation, the reason for the tragedy at the Listvyazhnaya mine in the Kemerovo Region was the lack of control by the mine management over the work carried out with increased gas pollution.
On November 25, an accident occurred at the Listvyazhnaya mine in Kuzbass, as a result of which 51 people died and dozens were injured.
