Power engineers of Karachay-Cherkessia will involve churches in the fight against defaulters

Power engineers of Karachay-Cherkessia intend to transfer lists of non-payers and thieves of electricity in churches and mosques. Khanapi Chotchaev, the manager of OAO Karachaevo-Cherkesskenergo, claims that this method of dealing with non-payments is already being used in Ingushetia. "Whether they ( lists of debtors - Ed. ) Will be hung up at the entrance or the names of these people will be called during the sermon - in any case, it is unlikely that anyone would want such an unkind fame in small towns where everyone knows each other," Kh. Chotchaev.
