Local authorities supported the proposal to create a new health retreat in Inderskiy district. "The problem is that according to the data of the Committee of Geology and Subsoil Use and by the Decree of the Government, Lake Tuzkol is in the list of protected areas. To implement this project the lake should be removed from this list. This will give the right for subsoil use and land for construction.
