The head of the Cabinet Akylbek Japarov got acquainted with the demolition work on the territory of the former prison colony. The Ministry of Emergency Situations demolishes the building, clears the area and prepares it for construction.

It includes educational institutions and kindergartens, social housing that meets international standards.

«Construction on the site will begin next year. Investors will be attracted to the implementation of the project,» the head of the Cabinet said.
