Russia to Revise Gas Safety Rules After Deadly Blasts

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th January, 2019) Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an overhaul of regulations on the use of gas-fired appliances in apartment buildings, the press office of his deputy has said.

"The Russian government has ordered authorities in charge of installation and use of gas-fired appliances to work out a set of measures to prevent accidents...

The existing regulations will be promptly revised," the statement by Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko's office reads.

A gas explosion collapsed a section of a high-rise in the southern Urals city of Magnitogorsk on New Year's Eve, killing 39 people. On Monday, a less powerful blast hit an apartment building in the town of Shakhty in the Rostov region, killing one person. At least four others are missing.
