Alagir District

Welcome to the Alagir District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The Alagir District is located on the northern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains in the southern part of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Most of the district is located in the mountainous zone of the republic. It borders the Irafsky, Digorsky, Ardon district, and Prigorodny districts, as well as the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia. The administrative center is the city of Alagir. The Alagir District is the largest municipal formation in the republic in terms of area. However, its population is only 38,600. Most of the population is concentrated in the administrative center, the city of Alagir. A quarter of the republic's forests are located in the Alagirsky District. The mountainous part of the district is rich in minerals – polymetallic ores, facing and building stones, cement raw materials, concrete and lightweight aggregates, limestone, expanded clay and feldspar raw materials, sand and gravel raw materials. The district also has the Tamis and Biragzan underground freshwater deposits. There are two monasteries in the district: a men's monastery in Verkhniy Fiagdon and a women's monastery in Alagir, as well as three historic settlements: the city of Alagir and the villages of Sadon and Mizur. The district has developed mineral extraction, construction materials production, electrical engineering, transport, logistics, recreational activities, agriculture, electricity generation, and religious tourism.

The Alagir District supported the “Take a Dog from the Shelter” campaign, which is being held in Vladikavkaz to help homeless dogs. The animals are struggling to survive on the streets...

But in Alagir, the campaign is taking a different form. Today, the district Animal Disease Control Station held an event aimed at preventing the appearance of new stray puppies and kittens, as well as reducing the number of stray animals that cause discontent among people. A veterinarian and his assistant sterilized dogs and cats that were brought to the organization by residents of the city and rural settlements who wanted to take home an animal that had undergone sterilization. Among the participants in the campaign were organizations that undertook to find a dog to guard the territory, feed it, and take care of it.

Roman Gozyumov, acting head of the Alagir District Administration, noted that such events will be held weekly, according to schedule, until the issue of stray dogs ceases to be relevant.
