Serious reshuffles occurred within the emergency services following the tragedy in the Ala-Archa gorge, where 14-year-old Amir Kunakunov died. Amid public outcry and criticism of the service's performance, President Sadyr Japarov issued a strict reprimand to Minister of Emergency Situations Kanatbek Chynybaev for organizational shortcomings and weak departmental oversight.
