These settlements are near the coast of Lake Alakol.

It is important for us to monitor the ecology, to protect the cleanliness of the shores, the nearby territory as a whole. Because, it is the lake that is the main source of income for the local population. In addition, Alakol is a visiting card of our region and the whole country", - said Adlet Sultanbek, the head of the department for the protection of entrepreneurs' rights and the reduction of administrative barriers of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs.

Residents noted the problem of the lack of gas stations. Representatives of the local executive body replied that the akimat would consider options for allocating sites for the construction of the station.
Also, the environmental prosecutor's office announced an anonymous collective appeal on the fact of lack of access to the lake.
