Specialists from the Department of Emergency Monitoring and Forecasting are currently conducting research in the affected area to assess the situation caused by the natural disaster.
Residential houses in Airport and Orukzar sections of Ak-Tatyr village have been flooded, attributed to the close proximity of houses, planting of trees on the banks of drainage canals, and ongoing construction works.
