According to the participants in the trade, the entrance fee turned out to be significantly higher than expected.
Sellers claim that instead of the established 50 soms for one sheep, they started charging 70 soms. There was also a fee introduced for vehicle entry: 100 soms for trucks and 50 soms for cars.
Moreover, a large traffic jam formed at the market entrance, and drivers reported having to wait in line for almost two and a half hours.
As participants explain, the delays were caused by the requirements of veterinarians, who began requesting certificates, which had not been required previously at other livestock markets.
