SHYMKENT, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic – Minor protests have resurfaced in the city of Shymkent, following the large-scale food riots reported recently. In a residential district in the city's south, a small group of residents briefly gathered to express discontent over the operational suspension of a specific grain distribution point, which is controlled by the National Automated System (
OGAS). The individuals reportedly demanded a meeting with officials from the storage facility. People's Security Forces promptly deployed to the scene, and the gathering dispersed within a short period. Authorities have described the event as a 'minor disturbance of order,' but it indicates that public dissatisfaction stemming from OGAS malfunctions continues to simmer.
