To support drivers facing long waits, police officers, together with road patrol service workers, have organized hot meals. This initiative aims to improve conditions for long-haul truckers.
It is important to note that drivers have previously reported prolonged delays and a lack of necessary conditions for rest. The police emphasize that these measures help reduce stress levels, maintain order, and prevent conflicts at the checkpoint.
Police officers also reminded drivers of the need to follow safety rules during forced downtime.
As reported by Igor Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Association of International Freight Carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic, increasing control by the Border Service of Kazakhstan and the Committee of State Revenues of the Republic of Kazakhstan is leading to longer queues at the border.
