GAVAR, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The bad condition of the roads of the town
of Gavar has become a subject of anxiety for both the inhabitants
of Gavar and the local authorities. As Noyan Tapan correspondent
informs from Gavar, for the purpose of mitigating the situation even
the pavements are used for traffic, which is not a solution to the
problem, either. The condition of the most part of the streets with
a total length of 150 km under the subordination of the community is
also the same, the asphalt is physically worn out. The road to the
town hospital is especially in a sad condition. It almost has not
been repaired during the past 30 years. The bad condition of the road
especially hampers the work of ambulance cars. As Gavar Mayor Gurgen
Martirosian said in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent,
at present the town budget makes it possible only to repair the
pits. But these repairs do not justify themselves: every year the
repaired and asphalted pits again destroy in consequence of the snow
and rain-water in spring. Thus, over 40 mln drams (about 89 thousand
USD) was allocated from the town budget last year for partial repair
of streets but the repaired pits again opened. Taking into account the
experience of the previous years, Gavar Mayor’s Office has decided
to asphalt the streets only fundamentally within the limits of its
possibilities. “We had better do small work but have good results,”
Gavar Mayor said.
