Overview
- Ulaanbaatar’s Tuul-1 sewer collector is moving ahead, with 25 of 79 land plots cleared and more clearances slated this year to install the remaining 10.4 km of 1.2–1.5 m pipes that officials say could boost main collection capacity by about 80% and enable roughly 300,000 household connections.
- The Environment Minister ordered a temporary stop to the Tuul expressway and warned the project could be fully halted unless the client and contractor meet legal requirements, citing work that began without an approved environmental management plan and fines issued to the company.
- City authorities began enforcing new rules that keep scooters and mopeds off sidewalks, introduce registration and technical standards, require operator agreements for rental firms, and bar riders under 16, with officials saying the aim is to cut pedestrian risk.
- Mongolia opened a national Railway Traffic Control Unified Center that brings real‑time, centralized oversight of train movements, with RFID and CCTV monitoring planned at key hubs such as Sainshand, Sükhbaatar, and Ulaanbaatar‑2.
- Prime Minister N. Uchral told Russia’s ambassador that Mongolia wants diesel on discounted or preferential terms for at least six months to steady prices and supply, with an additional protocol slated to be signed in Moscow by the industry and mining minister.
