A commission has been set up in Turkmenistan to prepare the appropriate proposals for the creation of the mudflow diversion channels in southern Ashgabat, Trend reports referring to national Altyn Asyr TV channel.
The commission includes representatives of Ashgabat’s administration, the Turkmen Ministry of Agriculture and Environment Protection, the State Committee for Water Management, the Academy of Sciences and other relevant structures.
Earlier, this issue was raised at a meeting of the Turkmen Cabinet of Ministers. Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov demanded to thoroughly inspect the diversion channels and analyze them from an environmental point of view.
