  • Bishkek’s Municipal Inspectorate is inspecting trading outlets in parks after contracts and permits expired.
  • Inspectors found mobile ice-cream stalls operating without valid permits or in breach of the city’s unified design code, and moved the wheeled units to an impound lot.
  • The municipality said previously dismantled kiosks were not due to return, and operators must renew documents and meet design requirements before resuming business.

Bishkek’s Municipal Inspectorate has begun raids in city parks against trading outlets whose contracts or permits have expired.

Inspectors also found mobile ice-cream stalls operating without valid permits and failing to meet the requirements of the unified design code. The wheeled outlets were taken to an impound lot, while officials drew up protocols against their owners and said legal measures would follow.

The raids began after residents complained that kiosks had returned to the capital’s parks and flower gardens following the end of SCO-related events. Bishkek’s mayor’s office rejected claims that dismantled structures had been brought back.

The municipality said contracts for placing light structures in parks and flower gardens expired on August 29. Owners who want to resume trading must reapply for documents, sign new contracts and bring their outlets into line with the unified design code.
