Progress in implementing the plan to rebuild the region and issues connected with the compensation payments to the victims of terrorist attacks and people who had lost their housing were discussed.

Akhmad Kadyrov said that the Government of the Chechen Republic had decided to allocate 30,000 roubles to each of the victims and the families of those who died in the explosion in the village of Znamenskoye on May 12 of this year. The families who lost their homes as a result of the terrorist attack by militants would get another 10,000 roubles. People would be temporarily housed in railway flats, but would be provided with new housing before the cold weather set in.

Currently 39,000 Chechen families have no roof over their heads, according to Mr Kadyrov. To address the issue urgently, a special commission has been set up, which is currently verifying the data needed to pay the compensations. The Chechen Government calculates that subsidies may amount to about 100,000 roubles per family.

The head of the Chechen Administration assured the President that the local authorities were keeping the problem under review and were working in constant contact with the federal Government. At the same time, Mr Kadyrov admitted that the process of rebuilding houses in the republic was taking too long, which he attributed to the reshuffling of the Chechen Government late last year and delays of the transfer of subsidies from the federal budget. Mr Kadyrov promised that all the facilities, especially social amenities, would be restored on schedule.

President Putin asked Mr Kadyrov to continue to actively work to restore the housing and utilities sector in Chechnya and provide all the necessities for the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in the republic.
