GAVAR, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN. The Paid Public Work Program is gathering momentum in the city of Gavar. The stairs leading to Freedom Stret of the city are being repaired and partly constructed under this program that envisages payments for those carrying out public work of various kinds. The program envisages remuneration for workers only, while financial and material expenses have to be covered by the mayor's office and private businessmen. This year, about 200 thousand drams (about 480 USD) has been allocated from the reserve fund of the Gavar city budget for these activities. Hovhannes Pipoyan, Chairman of the Shinjokat construction organization, has also made investments: he is supplying building materials at his own expense to prevent any interruptions in the work process.
