[Summary translation prepared by Business and Human Rights Resource Center]
Residents of roadside areas that had been allocated for the construction of the North-South alternative road, cannot receive compensation for their lands. The government is considering reimbursing 31 people, but other residents are unhappy with the government's selective approach to resolving the issue...
It is planned to complete the first stage of the construction of the Jalal-Abad - Kazarman - Balykchy highway with a total length of 433 km in 2018... The cost of the first phase is estimated at 400 million US dollars. These works are financed by a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China.
