According to him, many old trees in Bishkek have lost their ability to perform protective functions — they do not trap dust, do not provide shade, and do not protect residents from heat and wind.
In response, the mayor of the capital, Aibek Junushaliev, noted that special attention is being paid to the situation on Auezov Street, where many trees have suffered from improper pruning or have dried up. This happened due to a lack of control and uncontrolled intervention.
“We inspected Auezov Street and noted the damaged trees. The reasons for the improper pruning have not yet been determined, but we will closely monitor the situation to ensure that such cases do not happen again,” the mayor added.
Tursunbaev also emphasized that simply planting new trees without proper care and control will not solve the problem. “If trees are planted without a system and pruned incorrectly, they will not bring any benefit,” the deputy noted.
Mayor Junushaliev assured that new tree plantings will be conducted under strict control, a watering and care system will be implemented, and residents will be able to participate in monitoring the growth of trees through a city map. “New plantings must perform their ecological functions — trapping dust, providing shade, and improving the microclimate of the city,” he concluded.
