To support the drivers waiting at the checkpoint, police officers, together with road patrol service workers, organized hot meals for the truckers. The department clarified that this initiative is aimed at improving conditions for drivers who are forced to wait for long periods.
It is important to note that drivers had previously reported prolonged delays and insufficient conditions for rest. The police emphasize that these measures help reduce stress and maintain order at the checkpoint, as well as prevent potential conflicts.
In addition, police officers urged drivers to adhere to safety rules while waiting.
As reported by Igor Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Association of International Cargo Carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic, intensified inspections by the border service of Kazakhstan and the Committee of State Revenues of the Republic of Kazakhstan are contributing to the increased accumulation of trucks at the border.
