Abdrakhmatov expressed bewilderment that such a large construction project did not receive approval from the Institute of Seismology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, especially considering the seismic hazard of the area. He cited examples of historical earthquakes, such as the 1911 Kemin earthquake, when hydraulic shocks led to unexpected consequences. "Think before building anything, people!" the scientist urged.
In recent days, photos of the construction site have appeared on social media, where the excavations have already filled with groundwater.
The "Altai" town is being built on an area of 234 hectares. The project includes 1,551 five-story residential buildings and 34,004 apartments of various layouts. The total construction area will exceed 1 million 7 thousand square meters. The construction company "Kut" is implementing the project, offering apartments with no down payment and in installments. All 34 thousand apartments were sold out in just a few days. On November 20, President Sadyr Japarov laid the capsule for the construction of the town.
