Waste cleared from the Baikal highway after prosecutor’s intervention

The R-258 Baikal highway links Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude and Chita.

An inspection by the Zabaikalsky Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor’s Office found municipal waste along the road’s right-of-way in Zabaikalsky Krai.

The right-of-way is the strip of land beside the highway.

Prosecutors issued a formal notice to the organization responsible for maintaining the road.

A subcontractor then cleared the rubbish.

One person was disciplined, according to the Baikal Interregional Environmental Prosecutor’s Office.

The roadside area has now been cleaned.
