Due to the loss of additional agricultural buildings and perennial crops, resettlers received compensation from the government.

In the Leilek district, 21 citizens were paid 500,000 soms each, and 63 citizens received 1 million soms each.
For these purposes, 225 million 500 thousand soms have been allocated from the republican budget for the administration of the Batken district and 73 million 500 thousand for the administration of the Leilek district.
Additionally, according to the border agreement, Tajikistan transferred 214 residential houses to Kyrgyzstan in the Sughd region. The inventory of these properties has been completed, and in the future, some of them will be transferred to residents of border villages.
It is also expected that land will be allocated for agricultural needs in two districts of the Batken region — Leilek and Batken. It was previously reported that local farmers are requesting to expedite the process of obtaining agricultural land due to the start of the fieldwork season.
The border agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan was signed on February 21, 2025, in Bishkek following negotiations between government delegations. Later, the then-chairman of the State National Security Committee, Kamchybek Tashiev, informed the deputies about the agreements reached and the transferred plots.
