We will ensure that traffic flows smoothly in all neighborhoods of our district, both in the center and in rural areas. We are on alert 24 hours a day in 2 shifts with all our snow removal vehicles. We have met our salt needs to be used in snow and ice removal and have created a stock of approximately 14,000 tons. Our municipality has the equipment and personnel to fight uninterruptedly throughout the winter. We have 120 vehicles, including snowplows, salt spreaders, graders, excavators, and road sweeping vehicles, and 387 personnel will be on duty throughout the winter.

It is also very important for our citizens to act appropriately in winter conditions during snowy weather. Vehicles without winter tires should absolutely not be driven on the roads. I would like to thank my dedicated colleagues who work on the field regardless of snow and cold for their efforts," he said.
