KAPAN TO HAVE MORE WORKING ELEVATORS

KAPAN, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: Authorities of Kapan, a
town in Armenia’s south and the capital of Syunik
province, were promised by the government 40 million
drams this year for a major repair of local elevators.
Deputy mayor Norayr Harutunian told Armenpress this
money is enough for repair of 18 elevators in blocks
of apartments and resumption of operation of 6 control
points. He said out of 158 elevators now only 96
operate.
In 2002 there were only 14 working elevators in
Kapan. By the end of this year their number will be
114. The municipality also plans to allocate money
from its budget to subsidize elevators’ operation
because many residents cannot pay for it.
