In the Maiminsky district of the Altai Republic introduced a high-alert regime due to bears

According to the decision taken at the meeting of the Emergency Situations Commission, for the period of the regime in the Maiminsky district, it was forbidden to hold outdoor cultural and public sports events with the participation of minors.

In addition, residents and guests of the area were advised to refrain from visiting the forests. From 19:30 to 08:00 without urgent need should not be on the street and in the forest belts.

Some recommendations relate to the safety of children. Parents are offered to ensure their delivery to educational organizations and back by personal or organized school transport. Independent movement of students to places of study and back in the dark and morning hours is recommended to exclude.

The authorities are also tightening control over the situation. In each settlement, operational groups of volunteer hunters should be created. They will monitor areas and track the appearance of wild animals.

The heads of rural settlements were instructed to further instruct residents, especially where the exits of bears were already recorded. It is also necessary to ensure that unauthorized landfills of municipal solid waste do not appear in settlements.

The unified duty and dispatch service of the district should ensure continuous monitoring of the situation. Police are tasked with intensifying raids to identify minors who are in public places at night without their parents or legal representatives.

The district administration also intends to work out additional routes for transporting schoolchildren and conduct explanatory work among students about the restrictions and safety rules introduced.

About the appearance of bears near settlements residents are asked to immediately report the number 112.
