Aibek Junushaliev ordered the dismantling of the structure near the Central Department Store and the restoration of the fountain.
A specialist present at the site confirmed that the structure needs to be completely redesigned according to the proposed sketches.
The mayor emphasized that all projects implemented in the capital must strictly adhere to the approved plans that were agreed upon at the urban planning council. He cited examples of successful projects, such as "Zhashtyk Arena" and the sports complex "Alga," which were built according to the designs.
“We sent a request to the Ministry of Construction, conducted the necessary checks, but unfortunately, we faced problems again. That is why I gathered the members of the urban planning council. If the project does not comply with the agreed data, it needs to be canceled, and the fountain should be returned to its original state. If you cannot build better than what was shown in the sketch, return it back,” the mayor stated.
Junushaliev also reminded about the need to support businesses, as emphasized by the country's leadership, adding that entrepreneurs must operate within the law and consider the interests of the city and its residents.
“If the company does not begin the dismantling on its own within three days, we will be forced to involve the State Construction Agency. All costs for the dismantling will be borne by the company that carried out the construction. This is not open for discussion,” he added.
We remind you that construction of a new multifunctional facility is currently underway at the site of the old fountain complex near the Central Department Store (TSUM). The project authors promised to preserve and update the fountains.
