On 6 August the Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, who came on a working trip to Bavly municipality, visited the Berlek cattle breeding farm in the settlement of Tatar Tumbarla, the first stage of construction of which has been completed and consists of a cow shed for 600 cows and a milking room.

Answering a question from heads of settlements about the wear and tear of the engineering network, Rustam Minnikhanov said that he has already given an errand to the government of the republic to develop a special programme on modernization of utilities network. “We will launch a programme for modernization of water supply, canalization and heat supply.
