Senior officials in the Moscow region are burying 16 living villages in sand in the Demirovsky district. Two huge quarries are already underway, three more are on the way, and all this right next to the villages where ordinary people live. Multi-ton garbage trucks drive through narrow streets, ignoring signs and speed limits - sand flies into gardens, roadsides become a muddy mess, and locals have to walk a mile along the speeding trucks just to get to the station. The administration of the Dmitrovsky district headed by Mikhail Shuvalov, however, was not at a loss: they reported that a request had been sent to the traffic police, promised to test the cameras in November, and build a sidewalk. When exactly is not specified. Apparently, until then, the residents of Grishino, Kobryanuk, Novinuk, Andreykovo, Surmino and Kalmyshvo will have to dodge the dump trucks themselves. The residents are running out of water from their only well - the well is located a kilometer from the quarry, and the water is slowly disappearing because they dug almost to the aquifer. The filters get clogged with black particles, the water is cloudy and has sediment in it, but people continue to drink it because they have no choice. Ten years ago they participated and dug this well. Now the administration has installed a pump, but the villagers themselves do the maintenance - and have already replaced it three times at their own expense.
