Villagers of the Mets Ayr district of the Lori Marz will solve the
heating issue with firewood this year. The gas tubes made it to the
middle of the village, but no further. The villagers waited for a
long time for the constructors, who never came to the village.

The government has conceded 29,080,000 drams for the gasification
program. According to head of the village Grandpa Arushanyan, the
work remained incomplete because the money wasn’t enough and the
constructors left.

There was another reason for the incomplete work. The district had
to make a 15% investment in the construction (4,362,000 drams). They
only made the five percent investment.

"The only issue now is the remaining 10%, which we are unable to give
due to the low budget of the district," says village head of Mets
Ayrum Grandpa Arushanyan. The village head plans on finding sponsors
to solve the issue. Grandpa Arushanyan believes that the government
will make concessions if the district makes investments and the work
will be completed.
