"Green zone" status and the General Plan

According to local residents, state acts have already been issued for the allocated plots, but architectural services are refusing construction permits. The reason is that according to the current Bishkek General Plan, this territory is classified as a "green zone."

The situation is complicated by the fact that a production zone is currently being formed on an area of 70 hectares in the upper reaches of Ozgur village. Residents are requesting a change in land designation for their plots so they can begin construction.

Osh Deputy Mayor Shumkarbek Paiziev stated that the issue will be reviewed, noting that the city's general plan is currently being prepared.

Context

The land where the difficulties arose previously belonged to the Kyzyl-Kyshtak aimak of the Kara-Suu district in the Osh region. The affected residents arrived from the Alay district, where their infrastructure was destroyed as a result of a landslide.
