Environmental inspectors in Kyrgyzstan's Jalal-Abad region have fined owners of recreational facilities in the Nooen district for violating ecological laws. The fines, totaling 35,550 Kyrgyz som, were issued after inspectors found evidence of household waste being dumped into the Alash-Say river and solid waste being burned.

During an operational raid, authorities identified specific instances of non-compliance at several recreational and food service establishments. In addition to the fines, the owners received official directives. These orders mandate the prevention of waste accumulation in unauthorized locations and prohibit the burning of trash. They also require the owners to maintain the surrounding areas in proper sanitary and ecological condition.

Following the inspection, the identified waste was removed, and the affected areas were cleaned and restored to an orderly state. The ministry's regional directorate conducted the raid to ensure adherence to environmental regulations at these public sites.
