On September 2, 2019, during a meeting on the restoration of flood-damaged areas in the Irkutsk Region, Vladimir Putin reprimanded Alexander Putov, the head of Nizhneudinsk. The president noted that the Nizhneudinsk administration had failed to pay the Moskovsky Trakt company, which had been removing waste after the flood. Company representatives had approached the head of state during his meeting with residents of Tulun. "Why haven't you signed any contracts with them?" Putin asked. "First of all, why haven't you paid them yet?" "All the documents regarding the equipment provided to this company have been signed, including the completion certificates and route sheets, and the waybills (they provided this company with waste removal equipment) have been signed," Putov replied. "Now it's just a matter of meeting the limits, and then payment will be made immediately." "What do you mean, no money? Who did we give money to? We gave money to the region," the president replied. "The region has all the money. Alexander Viktorovich, people worked during the most difficult times, removing debris, clearing away rubble, and so on. We transferred the funds in full. Everything that was needed, everything that was recorded here together with the Ministry of Emergency Situations – everything was transferred in full. You say the documents are there, the governor says he didn't see them, and yet people are sitting without money. This is unsound. You know, I think this is a clear sign of incompetence." \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ #tulun #putin \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Full chronicle of flooding events in the Irkutsk region https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu82A... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Oblastnaya newspaper website http://www.ogirk.ru/ Oblastnaya newspaper on social media VK.com - https://vk.com/ogirk Instagram - / ogirk.ru Odnoklassniki - https://ok.ru/ogirk Facebook - / ogirkru
