MIGRATION SERVICE RESTORE IN CHECHNYA

MOSCOW, November 3 (AVN) - Russian government made a decision to restore migration service in Chechnya.

Vladimir Kalamanov, leader of the Russian federal migration service said at the briefing in Russian Information Centre that the restored structure is to deal with receiving, housing, and registering refugees that return home.

According to Federal Migration Service about 2000 Chechens returned to the freed districts; about 60 people want to return home from Ingushetia.

Problems on Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Dagestan and Stavropol region border check points are not connected with migration service specialists, Kalamanov added.

Federal Migration Service now is busy preparing refugees camps (where over 13 000 people still stay) for winter. It delivered to Ingushetia 120 tents, three diesel power stations, about 1000 heaters and 700 tun of food from its reserve.

The better federals control the situation in the freed districts the more people return back to Chechnya, Kalamanov thinks.
