26 January 2007 Urus-Martan gets a new bridge
The residents of Urus-Martin got an unusual New Year present a new bridge over the Martanka River in the downtown of the city. The bridges built according to the latest modern technology. The bridge connects the two banks of the river without any additional bridge piers in the water. Its other most positive feature is that the bridge can stand any carrying capacity. The fact becomes much more important during any water overflows. The multi-lane bridge with wide pedestrians is located opposite the building
of the city administration. Besides, it links several major highways. It means that from now on car drivers will be spending less time while moving from the southern regions of the republic to the northern ones. The bridge is 15 meters in width.
Two more new similar bridges will be built in the region this year. One of them will be built in the outskirts of Urus-Martan, the other in the village of Martan-Chu . Both bridges are expected to make highroad service easier and more comfortable. Each new bridge will be 100 meters in length and will be abided to the latest safety norms.

25 January 2007 Court rejects Chechen's suit against Russian Defense Ministry
A Moscow district court Thursday rejected a suit against Russia's Defense Ministry by a Chechen man seeking compensation for injuries he allegedly sustained during a mopping-up operation in his village a year and a half ago.
The Presnensky Court said the suit filed by Uzeir Abuliyev, a resident of the Chechen village of Borozdinovskaya, was not supported by any conclusive evidence that the June 2005 operation affected him personally.
"The plaintiff's side produced no evidence of his mental or physical suffering. All the statements were groundless," said an official representing the Defense Ministry in court.
Abuliyev's lawyer claimed the Defense Ministry troops who raided Borodzinovskaya in June 2005 "abducted and killed locals, torched four houses, and subjected all the community's male population to torture."
He said his client had also been tortured and beaten up, and made to spend eight hours lying on the ground in heavy rain.
The Defense Ministry submitted documents proving that Abuliyev reversed his earlier testimony about the cruel treatment he had allegedly suffered during the operation.
Similar suits lodged by 41 other inhabitants of Borozdinovskaya will be considered in subsequent court hearings, each separately.
Abuliyev said he would appeal.
