The Prosecutor General's Office revealed three thousand violations at coal mines

This was stated by the head of the department for supervision over the implementation of legislation in the environmental sphere of the supervisory agency Anton Golovin.

As Izvestia clarifies , over 250 submissions were made to eliminate violations, about a thousand administrative cases were initiated.

According to Golovin, inspections of all mines and open-pit mines are carried out "with special attention."

Recall that after the tragedy at the Listvyazhnaya mine in Kuzbass on November 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Prosecutor General's Office to provide a report on the causes of the accident. In turn, Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov announced plans to inspect all coal mines in the country.

It should be noted that the inspection in Kuzbass itself began almost immediately after the accident at Listvyazhnaya, which killed 51 people. Then almost 450 violations were revealed , 180 administrative cases were initiated.
