The press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources reported that samples of waste water and soil have been taken, and laboratory analysis is being carried out. Two violation reports have already been drawn up and fines have been imposed totaling 44,000 soms.

Work of the resort was suspended until the violations are completely eliminated.
