Related ministers were also ordered to involve greenhouse farmers to the nighttime electricity tariff discount, enable rail transport to grain and increase the number of harvest trucks. Furthermore, the Cabinet resolved to repair the harvest route road of Selenge aimag from the Government’s reserve fund and mobilize military units for harvesting. Minister of Health Sarangerel Davaajantsan will be responsible for funding the current and fixed costs steered from the increased workplaces following the completion of Health Care Center expansion of Bayangol soum, Selenge aimag.
ADVANCE PASSENGER PROCESSING TO BE INSTALLED AT NEW AIRPORT
Later on, the Cabinet decided to install the Advance Passenger Processing (APP) system at the new airport in Khushig Valley. Officials viewed that APP will improve border inspections, information exchange of public bodies and national capacity to fight against terrorism. The APP confirms the passenger’s information from the Wanted Persons List of Interpol, No Fly List and other databases, such as visa, and send the information to local law enforcers within three seconds once the passenger purchases the flight ticket. The system is used in over 70 countries around the globe.
