A total of MNT150 billion will be allocated in the next year budget for the pension raise” PM noted. "The involvement of Mongolia to the IMF program was a right decision and it is already a time to operate Oyu Tolgoi and Tavan Tolgoi mines efficiently and profitably and distribute their benefits to the people", said some locals. They also requested the PM not to allow to touch the Noyon Mountain. “We should develop agriculture besides mining and produce all we can do, supplying for domestic needs and further exporting them. The people of Selenge aimag grow real eco wheat, potatoes and vegetables. The Government will provide farmers with ‘Loan of Trust’ to support them to have vegetable storehouses. Rehabilitation is vital in the mining sector. We made a decision to cancel special license of a company, which has failed to do land rehabilitation works to preserve historical sightseeing. An issue of Noyon Mountain is included in it” said PM J.Erdenebat in response to some questions. B.Ooluun
