Governor Suspends Water Pipeline Construction to Address Boraldai Villagers' Long-Standing Issues
Boraldai villagers in Ili District, Almaty Region, have been grappling with a range of issues, with the most pressing being the prolonged construction of a new water pbs. This has left roads in a state of disrepair, making it challenging for children to commute to school. Residents have long faced problems such as crumbling roads, lack of street lighting, frequent power and water supply disruptions, unauthorized construction, illegal dumping sites, and a shortage of public transportation.
At a recent public accountability meeting with the regional governor, residents of Iliysky District raised over forty pressing issues, including poor road conditions, street lighting, school challenges, public utilities, healthcare, environmental problems, and a shortage of public transport. The governor, Marat Sultangaziyev, instructed relevant authorities to investigate these issues and develop an action plan with specific deadlines and responsible officials. In response to the villagers' concerns, the governor pledged to establish a rural park in Boraldai and allocate necessary land for the project. However, he also ordered a review of the water pbs project's design estimates and suspended all construction and road repairs until the issues are resolved.
The governor's intervention comes as a relief to Boraldai villagers, who have long suffered from these issues. With the suspension of construction and road repairs, the governor aims to address the root causes of these problems and ensure that the water pbs project benefits the community without causing further inconvenience.
