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.
