According to the head of the Cabinet, some villages of the district are located 300 km from the regional center. The Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Emergency Situations to assist in the centralized delivery of cement and reinforcement.

«Chon-Alai is far away. If everyone delivers himself, it will be very expensive, so it’s necessary to organize a centralized delivery. People don’t ask to give free of charge, they will buy, but they need to be delivered at шеы cost, and not to allow business there," Sooronbay Jeenbekov said.

The plenipotentiary representative of the government in  region said that as of today the affected residents of the district received applications for 2,000 tons of cement, and asked for help with the equipment.

«Don’t touch me, I will not touch you» — this won’t happen again. All of you will answer, I say openly. «I said, I gave the order, I talked about resettlement, had three meetings…» — it’s not going to take place anymore. In the future, there shouldn’t be such catastrophes in . If there is a threat, we must resettle, temporarily," Sooronbay Jeenbekov said.

He also instructed to speed up the development of the draft law for the precise determining of those responsible for the prevention of emergencies.

I get criticism both in the parliament, and from the president, and no one else answers. You don’t want to hear criticism, just want to hear praise in your address.
