Locals seize mayor's office in Ingush city
Residents have seized the building of the local administration in the town of Karabulak, Ingushetia, a North Caucasus republic neighboring Chechnya.

People have stormed the building, pushed the administration head, Ibragim Arsamakov, out of his office and said they will not leave till the republic’s leaders come to the scene. According to the latest reports by Interfax news agency, the republic’s PM, Ibragim Malsagov, has already arrived. Negotiations with the protesters are currently under way.

The protestors are demanding land holdings they have reportedly not received since 1988. They accuse the local administration of corruption.

However, the republican government’s press service quoted by the agency said the administration office in Karabulak was not seized by local residents. The press service acknowledged that land holding problems have existed in the town for more than 20 years.

Ingushetia’s president, Murat Zyazikov, has dismissed Karabulak’s mayor for an “incorrect approach to the solution of problems and a lack of attention to the people’s needs,” the press service said.
