Decisions Made at Cabinet Session www.montsame.mn
During its regular session on July 26, 2023, the Cabinet made the following decisions:
Funds will be released from the Government's reserve fund for the reconstruction of bridge structures damaged by floods.
Minister of Finance B. Javkhlan approved the release of funds from the Government's reserve fund based on the request submitted by the Special Commission of Bayan-Ulgiy and Selenge aimags to the State Special Commission for immediate reconstruction and elimination of damages caused by dangerous weather phenomena and floods.
On June 10-12 in Bayan-Ulgiy aimag, due to excessive heat, the snow in mountainous areas melted a lot, and the water level of rivers such as Khovd, Sagsai, Bulgan, Buyant, Turgan, Chikhertei, Gantzmod, Tsagaan Gol, Sogoog, and Kharbutny exceedingly increased and reached a dangerous flood level. As a result, 7 wooden bridges and 1 reinforced concrete bridge were affected by floods and destroyed. Therefore, funds will be allocated from the Government Reserve Fund for the restoration of the bridges. Also, the budget for the reconstruction of a 150-meter long bridge over the Kharaa river in Mandal soum of Selenge aimag was resolved.
Due to the continuous rain in the capital, the dam of the Selbe River has burst in some places, and urgent restoration work is ongoing. At today's meeting of the Government, the Special State Commission was tasked to provide weather information to the public at all times to prevent any risk.
