The issue of the lack of clean drinking water and youth infrastructure was raised during a meeting between the mayor and the residents of the Kyzyl-Kyshtak aiyl aimak. Local residents noted that Kerme-Too village, located on the border with Uzbekistan, remains underserved in terms of basic resources.
Water deficit and lack of facilities
According to one villager, the water situation is critical: there is none even in the local school. Due to the lack of a water supply, children are forced to drink water from irrigation ditches. Furthermore, there is no football pitch in the village, forcing young people to travel to neighboring settlements for sports activities.
Problem solutions
Osh Deputy Mayor for Construction Shumkarbek Paiziev reported that work to provide the population with water is being carried out systematically. According to him, the water supply will be connected to Kerme-Too in the near future during the installation of networks in other settlements.
Regarding sports infrastructure, the construction of a football pitch is under the jurisdiction of the Osh City Municipal Property Administration. Paiziev explained that the pitch is planned to be built on the site where the old school building is being demolished.
Context
Kerme-Too village is located in the Osh region on the border with Uzbekistan. The city of Osh, to which these territories are adjacent, has a population of approximately 375,400 people.
