The Georgian government on Monday announced the handover of state-owned real estate to 123 internally displaced families in Tbilisi and 18 other municipalities of the country, as well as the launch of a new, five-year, ₾225 million ($82 mln) water supply project in the central Khashuri municipality.
The handover of flats follows as the latest round in the process of providing accommodation to IDP families across the country.
With regard to the water supply project, the government administration said it would see the existing water supply and drainage systems “completely replaced” in the municipality.
