Mayor Ilsur Metshin proposed to create working groups on security and
anti-terrorist protection at enterprises in Kazan, to inspect all shelters, and
to inform residents about them at a meeting of the city anti-terrorist
commission. Deputy Head of the Executive Committee Iskander Giniyatullin, Head
of the Kazan Department of Internal Affairs Nadir Zakirov, Chairman of the
Transport Committee Alexey Sidorov, Head of the Department of Culture Azat
Abzalov made reports on ensuring the safety of residents.
“The issue of the safety of the city and residents is crucial nowadays.
No one needs to be reminded of the tragic events that happened in the Crocus
City Hall, as well as the recent drone attacks that occurred in the industrial
zone Alabuga and Nizhnekamsk. I propose to create working groups at every
enterprise on transport, housing and communal services, in cultural and sports
institutions, the same have been created in district administrations. Every
head of an organization should have a clear understanding of actions in a given
situation,”- Ilsur Metshin said.
Comprehensive attention is paid to the security of citizens in the
capital of the republic. However, in connection with the recent tragic events,
it is necessary to introduce new preventive measures to minimize the
consequences, the mayor believes. In case of emergency situations, it is
necessary to prevent residents from panicking and ensure their safety.
“We have always paid systematic attention to security issues, today the
situation has changed dramatically. As they say, trust the God and keep your
powder dry. We need to analyze our work to ensure the safety of residents in
the event of a critical situation,”- the head of the city said. Positive
results can be achieved only if citizens are informed about the ways and means
of protection.
Shelters should be prepared at the city's facilities in case of
emergencies, it is necessary to establish the work of the citizens' alerting
system, the Mayor noted.
