Farmers" and coordination councils will be created at the State Centers, which will greatly simplify the work of agricultural workers and will study the problems of farmers.
The website Modern.az writes about the recent increase in traffic accidents with street cleaners. The number of victims is growing due to speed driving, experts say. However, the cleaners themselves are showing inattention and negligence during heavy traffic on the roads.
The author cites the example of practice in Georgia, where the roads are swept at 5 a.m by men, not women.
The article raises the question of the conditions in which these people work, and their heavy workload. Experts believe that in places with heavy traffic it is necessary to apply cleaning equipment.
