August 7, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Fields in the Minsk region are overgrown with weeds and remain excluded from crop rotation, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has said after arriving by helicopter in the Vilejka district, his press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a mess everywhere. Your fields have been abandoned. It\u2019s appalling,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka told Alaksiej Ku\u0161narenka, chairman of the Minsk Regional Executive Committee. \u201cI have an ironclad demand: all fields in the Minsk region must be returned to crop rotation. You need to plow, sow and harvest on time. You also need to significantly step up efforts in the north of the Minsk region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka also criticized the availability of goods and services in rural areas, saying retailers that have struck \u201cgold\u201d in major cities must expand into small villages. \u201cI will monitor this closely and hold them accountable,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler described the quality of service at rural retail outlets as unsatisfactory, citing the State Control Committee\u2019s findings that violations were found in 90 percent of the 1,021 inspected stores. \u201cExpired products, rotten goods and so on. This is simply outrageous and unacceptable,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
