Long queues at Kazakhstan border with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
Heavy Traffic Causes Long Queues at Kazakh Borders With Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan
Passenger traffic has been on the increase in Kazakhstan, causing long queues at the border with Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, according to a report by the National Security Committee (KNB). The report states that the borders were congested with people and vehicles due to the increased passenger traffic at the checkpoints on the Kazakh-Uzbek and Kazakh-Kyrgyz sections of the border.
Despite the holidays and weekends, the checkpoints are working as usual and are reinforced with border guards. The KNB advises travelers to take this information into account when planning their international trips.
Kazakhstan and its neighboring countries have seen a surge in passenger traffic in recent years. The government is taking measures to address the issue and improve the management of the border crossings. Travelers are advised to prepare well in advance and factor in possible delays when crossing the border.
