Bishkek City Hall Responds to Dry Dubovy Park Complaint with Watering Video

Bishkek city hall has addressed a reader's concerns about the condition of Dubovy Park, where trees and lawns were reportedly drying out. The municipality stated that the park is regularly watered and provided video footage as proof.

According to a municipal representative, watering took place on July 3 and July 6. However, a reader claims that photographs showing dry earth and fallen leaves were taken early on the morning of July 7. The reader questioned how the ground could dry out so quickly, presenting screenshots with timestamps as evidence.

A journalist from 24.kg visited the park during lunchtime on July 7 and observed watering activities. This observation occurred after the initial publication of the story, suggesting that the municipal enterprise's claims and the residents' observations may not fully align.

The discrepancy between the municipality's statements about regular watering and the resident's evidence of dry conditions, coupled with the observed watering happening post-publication, has prompted the news outlet to request further clarification from the city hall regarding their watering strategy for Dubovy Park during the hot weather.
