“Their children live on the new plots”
In Kyrgyzstan, about 2,500 families received land plots, but did not relocate from dangerous areas. This was reported at a briefing by Azamat Mambetov, the First Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations.
He noted that the melting of snow and glaciers could lead to dangerous natural phenomena such as landslides and mudflows. Approximately 11,000 plots threatening safety have been identified in the country, along with about 4,000 landslide-prone zones where around 4,000 families reside.
Despite the provided land, 2,500 families have not left their previous places of residence.
“Their children are already living on the new plots, while the families themselves remain in risk zones. Some even sign a waiver, acknowledging that they are prepared for the consequences of a possible landslide. The Emergency Ministry lacks the means for forced relocation. We have contacted law enforcement agencies to begin working with such families,” the rescuer explained.
