Snowfalls and rains: how the consequences of bad weather were dealt with in the largest region of Belarus

December 12, Brest. The Stolin region on December 10 and 11 was dominated by snowfalls and rains. Grigory Protosovitsky, chairman of the Stolin regional executive committee, told BelTA how the Poleshuks coped with the elimination of the consequences of bad weather.

Snowfall hit the largest region of Belarus from 9 to 10 December. During the night, snowdrifts up to 20 cm high were piled up. “The services were warned in advance. By the end of the day, almost all roads were cleared by road workers and public utilities. Agricultural equipment was connected in several settlements,” Grigory Protosovitsky said. He drew attention to the fact that bad weather did not interfere with the movement of public transport. There were no disruptions in the schedule, all regular buses went on routes. Agricultural enterprises delivered raw materials to MILK processors on time.

In the Stolin region on December 11, the snow turned into rain. Under such conditions, public utilities continued to clear the streets and roads. “It’s good that the temperature was positive, so there was no ice,” the chairman of the district executive committee noted. “The district executive committee is making a decision to secure the equipment of agricultural and industrial enterprises in case of an emergency. If this happened, the enterprises provided the necessary amount of equipment to quickly cope with the consequences of bad weather ".

Due to the rampant elements in the agricultural town of Bolshoye Maleshevo and the village of Semigostichi, there were power outages. The energy problems were fixed in a couple of hours. By the way, dairy complexes have not faced such a problem - they are all equipped with diesel generators.

“Our district is the largest in Belarus. But this is the land of Poleshuks. Hardworking people live who rely on themselves,” Grigory Protosovitsky added.
