YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN. VivaCell-MTS allocated AMD 15
million to support the village of Geghamavan with rehabilitation of
the protective fence dividing the village and the River Hrazdan.
According to a press release of VivaCell, the River Hrazdan flows
across the village of Geghamavan – through its populated territory. The
protective fence separating the river banks from the village built
previously dates back to the first half of the previous century,
and was destroyed.
Unfortunately, during the last three decades the fence was unable to
prevent 67 casualties resulting in death of people, 10 of which were
cars falling into the river. Moreover, lots of cattle have fallen
into the river causing considerable material losses to the residents
of the village.ll-MTS,
A 750 meter long protective fence has been built on both banks of
the River Hrazdan, for the part of the river running across the
village. Another part of the fence making 300 meters, will be built
by the end of the year.
