The fourth meeting of the national committee to reduce air
pollution in the capital was held on Thursday, with the Chief of the Office of
the President, D.Battulga, in the chair. It discussed the establishment of restricted
zones, electricity supply to 6,000 households of ger districts and reduction of
auto fume.
Mayor G.Munkhbayar said that 11,000 households in the restricted zones will not
be allowed to burn raw coal in the next two winters. Forty tons of coking coal
will be in stock by October for their use. It was decided that 60% of the coking
contract should be given to private mining companies.
Chief of the Energy Authority Ts.Bayarbaatar reported that MNT34 billion would
be needed to electrically heat 6,000 households but the committee wanted a
fresh estimate as it felt the present
one had been poorly conceived.
