Residents of the village of Tölöykön in Osh city have appealed to municipal authorities demanding a resolution regarding the operation of the shooting range. According to local residents, the facility causes constant inconvenience and disturbs the peace.
Reasons for complaints and lease status
During a meeting with Osh Mayor's Office leadership, villagers reported that police officers and other representatives of various agencies regularly appear on the shooting range premises. Residents also expressed dissatisfaction with how the facility was constructed.
According to one citizen, representatives of the Grom company built the shooting range without proper consideration of the public's opinion. Currently, the land lease for the shooting range is set to expire this year.
Government response
Osh Mayor Zhanar Akaev stated that the issue will be reviewed jointly with law enforcement agencies. The Deputy Head of the Osh Department of Internal Affairs will meet with residents on-site to discuss the situation.
If the shooting range's activities are deemed dangerous to the surroundings, authorities are prepared to consider relocating the facility to another site in the direction of Aravan.
