A number of shortcomings in improper organization of works on implementation of the scheduled tasks on social and economic development of the littoral region, and improvement of the social and living conditions as well as developing rural areas were revealed during the trip to Balkan Velayat made on instructions of the Turkmen leader.
In particular, the President of Turkmenistan stated that of 123 objects of the social and cultural purposes to be built in the region in 2008-2011, construction of only 43 projects had been. In spite of the expiration of the planned dates, the construction works were still carried out at 51 objects, and the works had not started yet at 29 objects.
The paces of construction of apartment houses in the velayat are very slow. The Turkmen leader noted that at present the construction works had been competed only at 9% of apartment houses. In spite of the expiration of the planned dates, the construction works had been still carried out at 17 % of apartment houses, and the works had not started yet at 74 objects.
It was planned to build 341 vertical wells to ensure the local population with pure drinking water. But up today, only 52 wells have been built in the velayat. In spite of the expiration of the planned dates, 32 wells are still under construction, and the works have not started yet at 257 objects.
