Grigol Mgaloblishvili Attends Accommodation of Refugees in Koda

On 19 November, the Prime Minister was on a visit to Koda Village to attend the accommodation of the refugees rendered homeless as a result of the Russian aggression. 450 families displaced from Kodori and Liakhvi Gorges moved to blocks of flats. In all, there are twelve five-story buildings in Koda. The flats are provided with gas, electricity and water supplies. All the living conditions have been created. Today, the Prime Minister visited people living in Koda and entered their homes. The Prime Minister promised them that as their accommodation problem had been solved, the issue of their employment would also be solved soon. "5000 houses have been built for 100 days. A large volume of works has been done. But this is not enough. At this point, our main objective is to help these people adapt to the new environment. We must help their children start the education process in a timely manner. We must help them in creating new jobs, as it is critical to employ these people," Grigol Mgaloblishvili said.
