PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A group led by U.Khurelsukh, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of National Emergency Management Commission of Mongolia has worked in Chinggis Khaan, Dadal, Bayan-Adarga and Norovlin soums of Khentii province, the regions faced with harsh winter conditions.
Snow depth has reached 30 cm and even 50-60 cm in some soums of Khentii province. The Deputy Prime Minister rendered 210 tons of grass, fodder and other assistances to herders and three ambulances to the authorities of Bayanmunkh, Dadal and Bayan-Adarga soums.
According to the report of governors and the Emergency Management Office of Khentii province, winter conditions have worsened not only in three soums, but also in all northern soums of the province. Due to heavy snowfall in late 2016, Bayan-Ovoo, Batnorov, Dadal, Binder, Batshireet, Umnudelger, Tsenkhermandal, Jargaltkhaan and Kherlen soums have encountered difficulties and the snow depth has reached 5-30 cm and 40-60 cm in some areas, posing a danger to livestock grazing.
Therefore, Deputy PM U.Khurelsukh obliged the governors of soums and province to oversee the spending of assets and money rendered from the Government of Mongolia, pay attention to people’s health, support herders in every possible way after conducting surveys on herder families living in areas confronted with wintering troubles. They were also ordered to request an assistance from the National Emergency Management Commission, if the budget runs short to carry out the activities.
On January 19, the Deputy Prime Minister will be working in Dornod province.
