AKIPRESS.COM - Several hundreds of people gathered in front of the Balykchy mayor's office to protest against uranium development on April 29.
Residents of the Issyk-Kul region, as well as some people from Naryn region gathered for rally.
One of the protesters said the crowd is marching from Balykchy to Bishkek.
On 27 March 2019, Kara-Balta Mining Plant and Economy Polimers Ru LLC signed a cooperation agreement worth $30 million during the state visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Kyrgyzstan. The money will be used to modernize the existing plant and develop uranium deposits in Issyk-Kul. Kara-Balta Mining Plant will process the uranium ore from Kyzyl-Ompol site. The uranium tailings will be buried in the decommissioned tailing storage near the village of Marmara, Sokuluk district, according to the agreement.
Locals protest against the development of uranium since December last year.
