“Their children live on the new plots”
In Kyrgyzstan, 2,500 families who received land plots have not relocated from hazardous zones. This was reported at a press conference by Azamat Mambetov, the First Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations.
He noted that the intense melting of snow and glaciers could lead to the activation of dangerous natural processes, such as landslides and mudflows. Approximately 11,000 plots that may pose a danger have been registered in the country, as well as 4,000 areas with a high risk of landslides, where about 4,000 families reside.
Despite the fact that 2,500 families received plots for relocation from these dangerous zones, they have not left their homes.
“The children of these families already live on the new plots, but the adults remain in hazardous areas. Moreover, they sign receipts to our employees, confirming that they are prepared for possible consequences if a landslide occurs. The Ministry of Emergency Situations does not have the authority for forced relocation. We have contacted law enforcement agencies, and further discussions will be held with such families,” said the representative of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
