A video of trees being cut down along the Issyk-Kul northern coast has gained popularity on social media. Users are expressing concerns about the removal of greenery, attributing it to the upcoming reconstruction of the Korumd-Balbay road. Reports indicate that preparatory work for the project is currently in progress.
The situation has sparked memories among Kyrgyzstan citizens of the Rappoport alley, which was completely cleared during the construction of facilities for the first World Nomad Games in 2016. Despite promises from authorities to reconstruct the iconic alley, no action has been taken thus far.
