Cabinet of Ministers promises to solve irrigation issues in Chui region

Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Aziz Aaliyev inspected the condition of irrigation facilities in Chui region. Press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reported.

It was noted that the improvement of the water supply of the existing and commissioning of new irrigated land, as well as the construction of accumulation facilities are the strategic directions of development of irrigation. Since November 2021, the Cabinet has increased funding for irrigation works.

«An additional 1 billion soms has been allocated for irrigation. Every district of the country is working on clearing water canals and preparing irrigation structures and special equipment for the spring field work. Such irrigation measures will make it possible to provide the fields of agricultural producers with irrigation water in a timely manner and in the required volume. We also hope that the irrigation issue will be much better than in previous years, because the clearing works have not been carried out for many years,» Aziz Aaliyev stressed during the visit.

Deputy Head of the Cabinet inspected the progress of cleaning of canals of the eastern and western Big Chui Canal, where special equipment of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is working.

Following the results of the visit, he gave instructions to the profile state agencies and local authorities. It’s about speeding up work on preparation of design estimates and other necessary procedures for the construction of reservoirs.
