The main reason for restrictions in the Zhivprom residential area (Kok-Art territorial administration) is the location of houses within the protection zone of oil refineries. As a result, approximately 1,800 households cannot obtain the necessary land documents.

Problems in other quarters and the status of dacha plots

Documentation difficulties have also affected the Yntymak-2 residential area (Dostuk territorial administration). On contour 216, 78 families reside who had acquired ownership rights while still in the Suzak district. However, since the territory was incorporated into the city, they have been unable to legalize the plots: according to the environmental service's conclusion, they fall within an industrial zone and the sanitary zone of a gas storage facility.

The MP also noted that a public bathhouse, a municipal market, and a recently built bus station operate in the immediate vicinity of these zones.

Scale of problems in Manas

1,800homes in Zhivprom cannot formalize land
78families in Yntymak-2 cannot legalize plots
4,000people live on former dacha plots

In the 38th, 39th, and 40th quarters of the Kurmanbek administration, approximately 4,000 people live permanently in areas with dacha status. Due to the current land status, infrastructure development is impossible, including the construction of roads, lighting systems, and social facilities. In this regard, a proposal was made to recognize these territories as a populated area.

Delays in Bishkek

Parallel to the situation in Manas, Jogorku Kenesh MP Umbetyly Kydyraliev pointed to problems in the Balban-Taimash residential area of Bishkek's Pervomaisky district. According to the parliamentarian, the land amnesty commission is delaying decisions on several plots due to delays in correspondence from architectural authorities.
