All 13 Arctic districts of Yakutia supplied with fuel before winter road opens

All 13 Arctic districts of Yakutia have been supplied with fuel before sustainable winter road operations begin. Across the region, fuel deliveries to settlements have been completed at more than 83% of the plan. Minister of Housing and Communal Services and Energy Vyacheslav Yemelyanov announced this on October 29 at a press conference at the TASS Far East center.

The minister said that fuel supply for all settlements in the Arctic and northern districts reached 100% before the winter road began operating. Of the planned 441 thousand tonnes of fuel and energy resources, including coal, crude oil and diesel fuel, more than 83% has already been delivered to settlements across the republic. He said the remaining volumes will be transported by winter road.

Alongside fuel deliveries, work to provide residents with food is also under way. According to YaSIA, the plan for delivering socially important food products and goods of an expanded range was overfulfilled by the end of the navigation period. A total of 1,600 tonnes of food products have been delivered to Yakutia's districts.
