According to the reports, as a result of the accidents, 1,246 people were injured and sought medical assistance. Most incidents occurred on the Bishkek—Osh highway, where 354 accidents took place out of the total 739. This indicates an increase in the number of accidents in populated areas along this route, as well as in the city of Manas.
In particular, in Manas, the number of accidents rose by 62.5% — from 96 to 156 cases. In the Toktogul district, there was also an increase of 42.3% — from 92 to 131 cases, while in the Nooken district, the figures increased by 82% — from 74 to 135.

In this regard, Nurlan Ermatov emphasized that the responsibility for preventing traffic incidents should not rest solely on road safety employees.
