Sunzha district

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.

New coastal protection projects are being implemented on the Sunzha River.

Mikail Miziev, the regional Minister of Ecology, presented projects for protecting the banks of the Sunzha River at a working meeting with Maxim Korolkov, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia.

The first section is the rural settlement of Troitskoye, starting from the bridge on Chkalov Street. The coastal protection structures, approximately 1.9 km long on both banks, are designed to protect 141 homes and approximately 770 people.

The second section is the city of Sunzha, on Krupskoy Street. The project includes approximately 1.85 km of coastal protection to protect 84 residential buildings, a boarding school with 230 children on a 24-hour basis, and a kindergarten.

The need for the work was confirmed by a commission survey involving relevant agencies and appeals from local residents. The design documentation has passed state expert review, and the cost estimate is currently being updated.

The riverbed cleanup in the village of Yandara, where work is ahead of schedule, was also discussed separately.

"The community has been asking for riverbank reinforcement for years, and our goal is to translate these requests into concrete results," noted Mikhail Miziev.
