The Sunzha Administrative Region was established on September 30, 1931. Being one of the largest districts (1,613 sq km), it occupies the eastern and central parts of the Republic of Ingushetia. It borders in the northeast with the Chechen Republic and in the south with North Ossetia. The administrative center is the city of Sunzha, located 40 km from the republican center - Magas.
The variety of relief and climate, as well as the favorable geographical location provide the district with excellent conditions for the development of industry and agriculture. On the territory there are 7 state unitary enterprises with a total arable area of 16,873 hectares, agricultural cooperatives, a horse farm. There are three rivers – Assa, Sunzha and Jerusalimka.
The area is served by rail, air and road transport. Magas airport is also located here, the asphalt Baku-Rostov highway passes.
The population of the district is 123,360 people.
Water pipelines are being renewed in Sunzha.
Work has begun on replacing the old iron water pipeline with a modern plastic one on Staraya Gaidara Street.
Instead of worn-out pipes with a diameter of 90 mm, pipes with a diameter of 110 mm will now be laid.
The total length of the new water pipeline will be about 400 meters.
The works are planned to be completed in 10 days.
And by the end of the year new water pipes will appear on five more streets of the city.
The Sunzha District House of Culture hosted a colorful performance of the ancient Ingush rite of passage into manhood.
The central test for young men in this rite is answering difficult questions reflecting the life experience and moral values of the people.
Traditionally, the “initiation into manhood” was held in the fall after the harvest. Having successfully passed the tests, the young man was entitled to wear an Ingush hat and the national accessory - t1ekhkr. This symbolized his entry into adulthood and the opportunity to participate in public affairs.
In October, work will begin in the rural settlement of Galashki, Sunzhensky District, to clear and strengthen the bed of the Assa River.
The measures are being carried out on the instructions of the Head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov, who responded to the residents' appeals. The main goal is to protect residential houses and homestead plots from the devastating effects of floods.
The Assa River is one of the largest rivers in the region, and during floods the water level rises significantly, which leads to the erosion of the banks.
The section along Zarechnaya Street in Galashki is particularly vulnerable. Here, the width of the bank has decreased by 4-12 meters in recent years! This creates a serious threat of flooding of residential buildings.
What will be done? The river channel will be cleared in the 400-meter section, the water flow will be redirected to the central part and the right bank will be strengthened. These measures will increase the capacity of the river, prevent further bank erosion and reduce the risk of flooding.
The work is scheduled to be completed in November, before the onset of cold weather.
In the Sunzha District of Ingushetia, old gas networks are a thing of the past.
A large-scale project to replace outdated gas pipelines has been completed. Specialists of Gazprom gas distribution Nazran laid 59 kilometers of new networks, providing reliable and safe gas supply to more than 950 houses.
In September 250 more families will be connected to modern gas networks. Pre-gasification is also actively continuing: 766 households have already received access to “blue fuel”. For the convenience of residents, mobile registration points are working.
By 2026 it is planned to complete technical gasification of the republic.
The reconstruction of the Kantyshevo gas distribution station and construction of a new gas pipeline to the Nazran-2 gas distribution station are currently underway.
