This market will be completely restored within one month, we will mobilize all our forces and means for this. Whoever worked in the store will continue his business there, he said.
The candidate added that the loan and tax payments of all entrepreneurs affected by the fire will be delayed. In order to “get them back on their feet” again, preferential loans will be allocated for working capital. Houses of residents damaged by the fire in the areas adjacent to the market will be completely repaired.
