Kazakhstan, one of the major chromium and chromite supplier and exporter in the world, declared a state of emergency as large-scale illegal protests broke out in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Tuesday due to surging fuel prices after authorities lifted price caps on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Therefore, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared a state of emergency from January 5 to 19 to ensure public safety.
