Local authorities are obliged to turn on heating when the average temperatures drop below 8 degrees.
Today, houses, hospitals and other social institutions have no heating, which is a violation of the population’s public rights, the news agency writes.
Potentially, the heating blunder of Mr. Savchenko could harm his political future. As recently reported by BarentsObserver, a big number of Russian town mayors have over the last few months been dismissed by regional authorities.
