City Hall offers traders from the Osh market to work in the municipal service

Bishkek has started a large-scale clean-up of unauthorised trade near Osh Bazaar. The Municipal Inspectorate has already issued 344 warnings to illegal sellers, and the Department for Land Use Control ordered the dismantling of 50 temporary structures. As a result, 13 illegal pavilions have been removed, and the carriageway at the intersection of Toktogul and Beishenaliyev streets is being cleared.

In addition, the authorities have engaged in the improvement of the territory. Cleaning of the Ala-Archa riverbed has begun, sanitary tree pruning is underway, and reconstruction of pavements and modernisation of street lighting will begin soon. An inspection by the fire service revealed violations preventing special vehicles from travelling to the market.

Traders have been offered legal workspaces - 72 on the vegetable aisle and 7 on the dairy row inside the market. A job pavilion with 1,500 job offers in municipal services was also set up. Mayor Aibek Junushaliyev said earlier that only those who act within the law will be able to get a place at the new market.
