Road repairs in Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn region have effectively been forgotten, lawmaker Ulan Bakasov told a Jogorku Kenesh meeting on Sept. 1.

Bakasov said repair work had started earlier, but the machinery had since been taken away. Even the road foundations that workers had prepared had reportedly deteriorated.

He warned that winter arrives early in the region and called for faster repairs. He also urged officials to speed up asphalt laying in Naryn and replace drainage crossings and slabs.

Parliament Speaker Marlen Mamataliyev said a group of lawmakers he had initiated would travel to the region at the end of September, in line with the work plan, to examine the problems on site.

But now they have simply forgotten about the roads, and the equipment has been taken somewhere else. The road foundations had been completed, but they have also been completely destroyed. Winter comes early in the region, so the repair work needs to be accelerated. In Naryn, asphalt laying must also be sped up, and drainage crossings and slabs need to be replaced.
