Kyrgyzstan: Homes on illegal pastures to be demolished

In Kyrgyzstan's At-Bashy district, illegal construction on pasture lands has led to a crackdown, with authorities ordering the demolition of encroaching homes and structures. The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry reported that inspectors identified several citizens who had unlawfully built residential houses and farm buildings on these protected lands.

Following inspections, land and water control service inspectors issued formal warnings to four individuals. These violators are now obligated to dismantle their illegal constructions and restore the land to its original state within a one-month deadline. This action aims to reclaim and preserve valuable grazing areas that have been encroached upon.

Beyond the demolition orders, the crackdown has also resulted in significant financial penalties. Protocols were drawn up against 42 citizens for violating pasture usage rules. The cumulative fines imposed amount to 315,000 Kyrgyz soms, underscoring the seriousness with which authorities are treating these land-use violations.
