The reasons for the market's closure were announced by the Ayil Okmotu of Narzan. Authorities noted that the market at Lomonosova Street, 1, does not meet veterinary and sanitary standards. According to the resolution of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated June 18, 2015, No. 377, the activities of this market, as well as the sale of agricultural animals in the adjacent area, are now prohibited.
A corresponding notice was posted at the market entrance; however, local residents continued to trade livestock in an unauthorized location.
