Although
road to the corner of Mt. Baits was closed by
chain-link fencing in order of the Governor
and the Citizens’ Representative Khural of soum,
that fencing got broken. So the particular fund
from the Community Association was devoted to
place two roads ditches lengths of 10 and 150
m, depths of 2 m and widths of 1.5 m to the
Kernel River on the corner of Mt. Baits and
valley of Michigan by chartering heavy mechanism
and technology on 24-25 Jun 2007. The association
spent 600 thousand togrogs for this work. In
result of this work, since automobiles’ movement
going around the corner of Mt. Baits was ceased,
the herds of argali wild sheep go to water easily.

this work on his own, and some members took
