They are Building 43 (cells of local importance), Building 48 (the Warm Temple), and also Buildings 54, 56 and 57, two of which are monuments of local importance, and one is a monument of national importance," Tomin said.
Another 10 sites are scheduled for inspection on Monday, May 1. The commission intends to speed up its work.
Regarding the condition of the facilities, the official said five of the 11 are in satisfactory condition.
