In his meeting with the governor of the Chelyabinsk region, Alexei Teksler, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that part of the hazardous production of the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Plant (CHEMK) should be moved outside the administrative center of the region. This was reported by RIA News.
At the meeting, Teksler told the head of state that this is a large metallurgical production, but efforts to reduce emissions have not been carried out, and the prosecutor’s office has made a request to the owners of ChEMK to fulfill their obligations.
The Russian leader told the governor that he was aware of this problem.
“We need to close this enterprise, this dangerous production, more precisely in the city center and move it out of the city,” Putin continued.
He also said that the issues of preserving employment after the relocation of the facility and integrating the business at a new technological level should be resolved together with the Russian government. The President gave instructions to attract investors to this area.
Before that Putin said About the stable growth of industrial production in Russia.
