MOZYR, 6 November (BelTA) – During a working trip to Gomel Oblast on 6 November, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the need to create more attractive living conditions in agrotowns, BelTA has learned.
It is a well known fact that villagers often seek to move to cities for more comfortable, attractive living conditions and more developed infrastructure. However, the president has repeatedly stressed that the village must not be lost under any circumstances. The state faces a critical task: to preserve the village. “You can’t drag people there with a lasso or a rope. Therefore, we must create conditions and change the system,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. State programs for rural revival are also aimed at this. “In social terms, this means creating agrotowns. For instance, there are 14 of them in Mozyr District. These are large villages where everything should be like in a city: a kindergarten, a school, a bank,” the president said.
