Relevant ministers and officials briefed the media on decisions made at the April 22, 2026, Cabinet session. First Deputy Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat Battsetseg B. said the government had suspended the Tuul Highway project following petitions submitted by citizens and civil society organizations, until public concerns and doubts surrounding the project are addressed.

She said more than 300 petitions and complaints had been submitted to the prime minister and the government. “The Tuul Highway project is being suspended until law enforcement and oversight bodies complete their review of issues involving officials whose names have been linked to the project,” Battsetseg said.

One of the key decisions at the meeting was the suspension of the Tuul Highway project. Citizens, political parties, and researchers had repeatedly submitted demands to the prime minister regarding the matter. Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor said the government should take seriously concerns raised over environmental impacts, traffic congestion, economic benefits, and the project’s financing.

PM said the project would remain suspended until confusion and conflicting information surrounding it are clarified, facts are verified, and investigations by relevant authorities are completed.
