БӨГЕН СУЫНЫҢ ТҰЗЫ КӨБЕЙДІ, ХАЛЫҚТЫҢ ТӨЗІМІ АЗАЙДЫ

The Bogen reservoir, which has become the lifeblood of the Turkestan region, was built in 1960. Since then, not a single nail has been driven in or repaired. However, today this outdated, neglected giant facility provides water to five districts. The people need water like air. But the worst thing is that the reservoir, which was entrusted to the people, is in private hands. Bogen, which has not been repaired for more than half a century, can be in a catastrophic situation at any time. If the dam bursts, the settlements, fields, and property below it can all disappear at any moment. This is not just a threat, this is a possible disaster. The people are just a handful. The Bogen reservoir should be returned to state ownership and repairs should be carried out. The source of life should not be a source of business, but the common wealth of the people, residents say.
