Homes Evacuated After Attleboro Gas Leak
A portion of Attleboro's Read Street has been closed to traffic after a natural gas leak.

Having grown up in Almaty, Kazakhstan, I moved to New Hampshire when I was 10 and remained in the area for most of my life. I received a journalism degree from University of New Hampshire, and then worked for local newspapers on the Seacoast for several years, working as both reporter and editor. In April 2019 I joined Patch, and I now cover several communities in southern New Hampshire, including Merrimack, Bedford, and Salem areas. My passion for local journalism remains ever high as I learn more about our communities, the interesting people, and the issues that people care about. News tips are always welcome.
