The Kyrgyz State Border Service, along with the State Institution "Ukuk" and UN agencies, launched an app with up-to-date information on border crossing rules and checkpoint operations. The key feature is the ability to check for temporary restrictions on leaving the country in advance.

Additionally, the "Tunduk" app plans to automatically extend pensions and allowances for students aged 16-23 who have lost a breadwinner.
