«Шенеуніктер далада қалдырса, өзімізді өртеуге дайынбыз»

"If the officials leave us in the field, we are ready to burn ourselves." This is what Almaty residents who protested against the demolition of their houses shouted. The people were shocked when they saw the new master plan. The reason is that the akimat is planning to demolish 365 houses in the Zarya gardening partnership. My colleague Nurtileu Zhylkhybay listened to the demands of residents who want a quiet life. There is a reason for the people to be so angry. Residents who got acquainted with the revised Master Plan last month were shocked to see that the future of their houses was hanging in the balance. They say that they have heard that houses that have not been touched since the 90s will be demolished and replaced with huge facilities such as roads and complexes. KARLYGASH SHANSHYKOVA, a resident of Almaty: This Zarya has 365 houses in the Ministry of Health. They are taking away our private land. What is this horror? What do we need such a government for? If they don't think about us, we won't think about them either. We won't give it to anyone. We are against demolition. Aisha, who is staring at every brick of her house and sadly looking at her yard, is also worried about the future. Even if she agrees to the akimat, she doubts that the compensation will be satisfactory. AISHA AYNABEKOVA, a resident of Almaty: I would say to the officials, for example, if you take my house, give me a house exactly the same size as it. Then it would be fair. Should we stay in the steppe and give us our only shelter? Everyone who lives here is ordinary people. Why doesn't the government think about the interests and benefits of ordinary people? NURTILEU ZYLKYSHYBAY, reporter: Yes, a new master plan is probably necessary for the city. But this change should not jeopardize the fate of hundreds of families, say residents. The people, worried about their future, have only one wish, and that is to allow them to live in peace without demolishing their homes. And the board that approved the master plan did not answer the main questions. It could not even answer simple questions like when and how. What we have learned is that the entire horticultural partnership will not be destroyed. Only the part where the road will be built may be destroyed. And the compensation to be paid will be calculated separately for the land and the house, at market prices, the official says. Will the people accept it now? This is the main question. #Informbureau #31arena #MainNews #News #31arena
