Belhydromet took part in a requiem rally on Chernobyl disaster remembrance day

Today, April 24, Belarus remembered the events of 1986. The commemorative event took place at the memorial stone to the victims of the Chernobyl disaster, where representatives of various organizations and agencies gathered to honor the memory of the hero liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.

Belhydromet employees joined the many participants of the requiem rally dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. This event was not just an anniversary but a profound reminder of the courage, self-sacrifice, and lessons we must never forget.

The head of the administration of Minsk’s Pervomaysky District, Vadim Perednya, emphasized in his speech the significance of the feat of those who were the first to take the radiation hit:

“We have gathered here today to honor the memory of the first people who took the invisible blow of radiation. To bow our heads to the heroism of firefighters, police officers, military personnel, engineers… All those who were the first to respond in liquidating the consequences of the Chernobyl accident” — these words echoed in the hearts of those present.

We, the employees of Belhydromet, whose work is inextricably linked to environmental monitoring, feel the significance of those events particularly keenly. Every day, as we monitor the radiation situation across the country, we are not just doing our job — we are preserving the memory of the past and caring for the future. Our daily work is a unique tribute to the liquidators and a guarantee that the lessons of Chernobyl will be learned, and that public safety will remain a priority. On this day, at the memorial stone, we reaffirmed our commitment to this important duty.
