Numerous complaints from local residents have been previously received against the facilities,» the ministry reported.
One violation was detected in Bishkek, Chui, Naryn and Batken regions, three — in Issyk-Kul region, four — in Osh, five — in Jalal-Abad region and nine — in Osh region.
Acts were issued against violators and orders were issued to eliminate the shortcomings.
