The Chairman of the Central Bank held an open meeting with representatives of the public and the business community. During this meeting, appeals concerning the use of banking services, attracting credit funds, financing, and problems arising in entrepreneurial activities were comprehensively discussed.
It was emphasized that each appeal is reviewed individually, taking into account current legislation, internal procedures of the banking system, as well as the financial condition of the applicant and the economic efficiency of the project.
One example was an appeal from an entrepreneur engaged in medical services who wanted to obtain a loan of 10 billion sums to purchase modern medical equipment. It was explained that the possibility of issuing such a loan is assessed by a commercial bank based on the effectiveness of the investment project, financial stability, and solvency of the entrepreneur, as well as the requirements for loan collateral.
Additionally, an entrepreneur from the public catering sector appealed for the possibility of deferring the principal debt of a loan for three months and making only interest payments during this period because a fire occurred in the building where the business operates.
For this appeal, relevant responsible persons were instructed to conduct an in-depth study of the entrepreneur's current financial situation, the extent of the damage, and the possibilities for resuming operations, and then revise the loan repayment schedule within the framework of current legislation and internal bank rules.
At the end of the meeting, specific responsible persons were appointed for each appeal, tasked with ensuring timely execution and control. It was noted that such open dialogues contribute to the prompt resolution of problems for the public and entrepreneurs in the banking system, as well as the improvement of mechanisms for supporting entrepreneurship.
Timely consideration of public appeals, on-site problem resolution, and ensuring consumer rights have become one of the priority tasks today. In this direction, practical work conducted by the Federation of Consumer Rights Protection Societies of Uzbekistan demonstrates positive results.
Specifically, an oral appeal was received in Zarafshon city from citizen A. Amonov. He reported that he had concluded a contract with a local entrepreneur for the manufacturing of iron gates, having pre-paid 4 million 600 thousand soms. The entrepreneur promised to complete the work within ten days.
Although the gates were delivered on time, their quality and existing defects caused a legitimate protest from the consumer. Specialists of the Zarafshon City Consumer Rights Protection Society thoroughly studied the situation. After a clarifying conversation with the entrepreneur, all defects in the product were eliminated, and the installation of new iron gates fully compliant with the consumer's residential building quality requirements was ensured.
Another appeal was also successfully resolved by the specialists of the Consumer Rights Protection Society in the Nurot district. Citizen Zh.B., residing in Mustaqillik mahalla, filed a complaint stating that the 400 amp automatic circuit breaker installed in the distribution panel of the 0.4 kilovolt transformer substation frequently failed due to overload, causing inconvenience to residents.
The appeal was reviewed according to established procedures with the participation of system specialists. The identified discrepancies were rectified directly on site, ensuring comfortable conditions for the mahalla residents.
Such examples confirm the principle of 'human interests are the highest value' in the country. The fact that every appeal receives attention, and problems are solved on a legal and prompt basis, strengthens public trust in state and public institutions.
As part of the National Guard championship in sports combat, a high-level competition program was organized at the Directorate of the National Guard of the Syrdarya Region. This event contributed to strengthening the physical fitness of servicemen, improving sporting skills, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and reinforcing an atmosphere of mutual solidarity and healthy competition among teams.
Servicemen from the Republic of Karakalpakstan, various regions, and special units participated in national combat competitions, demonstrating their mastery. The fights took place in a tense and fair atmosphere, where participants showed a high level of physical readiness, technical preparation, endurance, resilience, and a strong desire to win.
Each bout was conducted based on the principles of sports ethics, honesty, and mutual respect, which once again confirmed that the competition was held in a fair and dignified spirit. Furthermore, the fights highlighted the invaluable role of sports in enhancing the fighting spirit and professional skills of servicemen. The main goal of the tournament was to develop the physical capabilities of servicemen, widely promote a healthy lifestyle among them, increase interest in sports, and identify the strongest athletes.
Following the heated matches, the team of the National Guard Directorate for the Republic of Karakalpakstan took first place in the team standings. The 'Qalqon' brigade won second place, and the 'Sarboz' brigade team took third place. At the awards ceremony, diplomas, cups, and souvenirs were solemnly presented to the winners and prize-winners. Their achievements were recognized as a deserved result of dedication to sports, regular training, and strong will.
At the regular meeting of the City Council, chaired by the head of the Sirdar region, Erkinjon Turdimov, plans for construction and reconstruction in various districts were reviewed.
The compliance of these projects with urban planning norms, architectural solutions, and the convenience they would bring to the population was discussed in detail. Each project was evaluated based on current urban planning legislation, general plan requirements, architectural appearance, engineering and communication infrastructure systems, organization of transport and pedestrian movement, as well as environmental standards and comfort conditions for residents.
As a result of the discussions, the project for building an IT center developed by the private company 'Remstroyproekt' in the city of Shirin, as well as the project for reconstructing a felt and corrugated sheet production facility in the Bakhor district of Guliston city with the installation of additional warehouses, were recognized as compliant with urban planning requirements and received a positive conclusion.
However, several shortcomings were identified in the projects for creating a pedestrian zone along the 'Dostlik' canal in Guliston city and expanding a tea house in the Okoltinsky district. It was noted that issues regarding functional solutions, pedestrian traffic, engineering infrastructure, and public convenience were insufficiently considered.
Consequently, these projects were not approved by the council. The design organizations were tasked with revising the documentation to eliminate the identified deficiencies so that it complies with current urban planning and architectural standards.
