Rustam Minnikhanov pays a working visit to Menzelinsk region

On August 17, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov paid a working visit to Menzelinsk region to get acquainted with the seasonal field work and the implementation of regional programmes.

At the meeting with the farmers, Minnikhanov was informed that Menzelinsk region is close to the equator of the harvesting campaign, 45 per cent of the planned territory having been harvested to date.

Due to the high yield, over 100,000 tonnes of grain have been harvested to date, with an average yield of 47.6 centners per hectare.

Tatarstan President wished successful work to all those involved in the harvesting campaign and urged to make the most of every fine day.

Then Minnikhanov got acquainted with the improvement of the embankment of the Menzel River. In 2018 Menzelinsk became one of the winners of the All-Russian contest of the best projects for creating a comfortable urban environment in small towns and historical settlements. The embankment, the beach and the dam were renovated with the support of the republic and funded by the grant; the monument of industrial architecture, the Catherine Bridge, was reconstructed. The beach area and playgrounds were also equipped, and the public area was reorganized under the project.

Another public space renovated in Menzelinsk is the Musa Jalil Park.

During the reconstruction, it was possible to breathe new life into one of the favorite resting places of Menzelinsk citizens. A new fountain was opened on the territory of the park, a stage for various cultural events was build, and a children's playground was equipped.

The core of the whole composition became the fairground with awnings. It is planned to place a Christmas tree here in winter.

Minnikhanov looked around the renovated park, talked with local residents and asked their opinion about the reconstruction of the facility.

Later on the same day, Tatarstan President got acquainted with the results of capital repair of the city's social facilities.
