“To me as to the Deputy of the State Duma appealed the initiative group of citizens of the Iskitim district of the Novosibirsk region, where in July of this year, with dumps of mining enterprises “Kolyvansky coal mine group, Sibantratsit” was a powerful gathering mud mudflow stopuri farmland near the village of Elbasi. As evidenced by the authors, in fact we are talking about man-made disaster, which not only complicated the already difficult socio – economic situation of the villagers, but also has a negative impact on the environment, the health of those living in this disadvantaged area families with children”, — said the Deputy.
As Tamara Pletneva writes with reference to the appeal of the initiative group, “this is not the first man-made accidents related to the technical condition of mining enterprises of the group “Sibantratsit”: in June 2019, the same landslide came down by the holding section, “Kisatsky” in the Kemerovo region: mud flow, as evidenced by the media, then demolished six of the towers, filled up the forest and broke the flow of the river Kisas”.
“But if last time the user group “Sibantratsit” at least acknowledged responsibility for the incident a disaster, but now, as stated in the text that deliberately shies away from this,” — said the MP.

“the Situation is very similar to the recent catastrophe in Norilsk. But the group “Sibantratsit” do not hurry with the implementation of measures on elimination of ecological consequences of technogenic accidents.
