28 August 2016 is the Miner's Day. Tatarstan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Albert Karimov is congratulating labour veterans and workers of the republic’s mining industry with their professional holiday:
“Dear labour veterans and workers of the republic’s mining industry!
On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan I congratulate labour veterans and workers of the mining industry with their professional holiday.
Miners labour is in honour and highly commendable in the society. Miners’ activities require distinct human and professional qualities, such as endurance, self-possession, and fortitude.
I express my appreciation and gratitude to everybody who is working in mines, quarries, and at industrial sites, to all who are related to this strenuous and equally honourable profession of a miner.
On the day of your professional holiday I wish you and your loved ones health, well-being, festive spirit, new professional achievements, and success in implementing aspired plans!”
