Reasons for requesting recordings

The deceased's cousin, Agynai Polotova, stated that the family plans to study the 112 call recordings, as the Ministry of Emergency Situations retains all conversations. According to her, on November 7 around 18:00, the teenager told a classmate that he could not reach the rescuers by phone.

Relatives are also contesting the conduct of the search operation. According to the family, on the evening of November 8, the Ministry of Emergency Situations stated that, according to agency rules, they had no right to conduct searches after 18:00–19:00. Consequently, the search was continued by volunteers and climbers who ascended the mountains on the second day.
