As a result of studies, it was found that the above-mentioned river, which is also used as a sewer, is filled with household waste, and near the Church of the Holy Sign, the river passes through a closed section and there are half-ruined parts of the roof. The stream passing through the end of Abovyan street of the town, as a flood channel, passes through an open section, which is also filled with household waste.
Considering the importance of the issue, the rescue service of RA Ministry of Internal Affairs turned to the Water Committee in order to provide a priority solution to the issue."
