A survey of coal prices was carried out in Tokmok, revealing that a tonne of coal is sold for between 6,200 and 6,500 KGS. However, no panic buying or queues among the public were reported.

The inspection was carried out by staff from the Chui Regional Department of the Antimonopoly Regulation Service under the Ministry of Economy.
