OSH, Kyrgyzstan - Uzbekistan has again halted the supply of gas to southern Kyrgyzstan, news media reported February 5.


Tashkent notified the Kyrgyzgas gas distribution company February 4 about a US $7m debt owed by consumers in the Osh region.


Kyrgyz officials have asked residents to pay their bills on time and attributed the February 4 decrease in deliveries to problems caused by outdated equipment for measuring the volume of deliveries, Centrasia.ru stated.


Meanwhile, akipress.org reported that some districts in Osh completely lacked gas supplies because of “decisive measures” taken by gas company officials to punish debtors.
