As part of the 'Improvement and Generosity in the District' event in the village of Berdak, Korauzak district, the social situation and living conditions of citizen Zhuzimgul Khabibova were studied. It was established that the family breadwinner had passed away, and the citizen lives in difficult social conditions with two minor children.
A thorough inspection of the residential premises revealed serious foundation defects, signs of structural collapse, and large cracks in the walls. Furthermore, it was found that the door and window structures were outdated and unfit for use.
According to the technical conclusion, repairing this house was deemed economically and structurally unfeasible, and reconstruction was impossible because the house was built adjacent to two other apartments. Since this apartment became uninhabitable, to improve the housing conditions of the family, considering their difficult social situation, a new two-room apartment, fully equipped with all amenities, within the territory of the 'Zhuzimbag' settlement in the Kegeyli district, was purchased and handed over to citizen Zhuzimgul Khabibova.
Islambek Tajetdinov, deputy head of the 'Waqf' charitable public foundation branch in Karakalpakstan, reported that in the current year, the old apartment of citizen Mehribon Kashimbetova in the 'Dostlik' village of Tahiyatosh district was completely destroyed, and a modern new four-room house was built in its place and put into operation. Work on repairing the housing of citizen Sarviniso Khudayberdieva from the 'Pakhtachi' village of Ellikkal'a district, who was affected by a fire, has also been completed, and the house was handed over to her.
To implement these charitable activities, the 'Waqf' charitable public foundation allocated 80 million sums. Moreover, over the past few months of the current year, the branch has provided assistance to 622 low-income families in Karakalpakstan who are without a breadwinner and need support. This aid included 164 million 320 thousand sums of food for 622 families, 12 million 820 thousand sums of beef for 63 families, 119 million 783 thousand 440 sums of children's clothing and toys for 1855 families, as well as material assistance amounting to 18 million sums for treatment and medicine for 6 families.
During a recent session of the Supreme Majlis of the Legislative Chamber, a bill aimed at strengthening the legal status of forest fund lands, introducing effective legal mechanisms for their protection, and ensuring ecological stability was considered.
This bill is designed to improve the legal foundations of extensive work being carried out in this area. Previously, the transfer of forest fund lands to another category of land fund was carried out in accordance with a Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers. Now, the procedure for such a transition is enshrined at the legislative level.
According to the draft, to ensure special protection of forest fund lands, the transfer of these lands to another category is based on a document adopted by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as stipulated in the Land Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Additional amendments and additions are also provided to strengthen the legal protection of forest funds.
The adoption of this bill will create a solid legal basis for preserving forest fund lands, strengthening the legal guarantees for their targeted and rational use, as well as maintaining ecological sustainability and biodiversity. Furthermore, it will increase the efficiency of state supervision in the field of forest fund protection.
At the meeting, the bill was adopted by deputies in the first reading.
At the same meeting, the 'On Veterans' bill was considered by articles in the second reading. This project takes into account the status of veterans, as well as the powers of responsible ministries and agencies in this area. It aims to strengthen the legal and social protection, privileges, and guarantees of veterans.
The bill defines categories of veterans, including individuals awarded titles for military merits, persons who received ranks for combat operations in other countries, veterans of the ministries and agencies of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as veterans of the courts, prosecutor's office, justice, and customs authorities, and labor workers.
According to the draft, citizens who have diligently worked for a long time in a specific field, industry, or profession in accordance with established requirements and criteria are granted an honorary status recognized by the state and society.
Citizens who receive this status are entitled to a number of benefits. These include free treatment in sanatoriums and resorts and medical institutions, receiving compensation for utility payments for housing, free public transport, discounts on air and rail tickets, and the ability to use public services without queues.
In addition, preferential provision of medicines in medical institutions is provided, as well as the opportunity to use paid services in cultural and leisure institutions (sports, theater, material cultural heritage sites) and museums on preferential terms. All benefits and guarantees provided to veterans are clearly written in the law, which further strengthens their social support.
After its adoption at the meeting, the bill was sent to the Senate.
The Guzarboshi neighborhood in the Olmazor district of Tashkent city is one of the areas that attracts attention due to its rich history, resident population, and extensive construction works. This neighborhood is located in the old part of the capital and is developing in a modern way while preserving its historical environment.
According to historical sources, two of the ancient twelve gates of Tashkent—the Sagbon and Chigatay gates—are located in the area of the current Guzarboshi neighborhood. This area was known as an important entry point where trade, craftsmanship, and agriculture developed over centuries.
The history of the Guzarboshi neighborhood dates back to the late 19th century. Initially, this area was called Sagbon neighborhood, later it was named Ittifaq in the 1930s. In 1999, the new Guzarboshi neighborhood was formed by merging the entire Academic Obid Sodikov neighborhood, as well as parts of Koštut, Achabod, and Shoshiy neighborhoods.
Currently, 8,110 residents live in the neighborhood, with 2,404 families. The area has 303 single-family houses and 34 multi-story buildings. The main areas of the neighborhood cover Nurafshon, Sagbon, Farobi, Shoshiy, Sariksuv, Maqola, Hurriyet, Kokzor, Omonat, and Tarix streets.
The construction and improvement works carried out in recent years have significantly changed the appearance of the neighborhood. In particular, large-scale construction was carried out under the 'Old City Reconstruction' program. Wide and smooth roads were established instead of old streets, and multi-story buildings, playgrounds, and trade and service facilities were built. Internal roads were asphalted, and electricity supply and engineering-communication networks were renewed.
Great attention is paid to issues of social support for the population in the neighborhood. Regular assistance is provided by the state and sponsors to people who are insufficiently supported, needy, bereaved, and disabled.
Furthermore, additional educational buildings were constructed at the 11th general education school due to the increase in the number of students, which is one way to create conditions for the qualified education of the younger generation.
As part of measures to turn the 'Old City' area into a tourist attraction in 2025, 21 houses along the Kaikovus canal were capitalized, which created more convenient conditions for the residents. These works serve to preserve the historical appearance of the neighborhood and increase its tourist attractiveness.
The Guzarboshi neighborhood is proud of its famous children, such as Obid Sodikov and Abdulvali Abduvahobov, and Lieutenant General Sobirjon Okhunjonov. The neighborhood citizens' assembly carries out systematic work on resolving citizen appeals, strengthening family peace, preventing violations of the law, and supporting families in need of social protection.
In the near future, plans are underway to restore the appearance of the neighborhood to a modern look, build kindergartens, green the area, develop tourism directions, and create new conveniences for the residents. The Guzarboshi neighborhood demonstrates the potential of the neighborhood system in New Uzbekistan.
The Competition Committee learned about an advertisement posted by 'ANOR BANK' JSC on its Instagram social network based on a citizen's application from the Tashkent region.
The citizen's appeal noted that the advertisement regarding the promotion announced by the bank did not fully disclose the terms of the promotion. The investigation revealed that important information necessary for consumers to make decisions regarding financial services was not provided in the advertisement.
The missing information includes the conditions for the promotion to be valid, the set limit, and information about the commission fee applied if the limit is exceeded. Therefore, the Committee's Special Commission initiated proceedings against 'ANOR BANK' JSC because the requirements of Articles 16, 21, and 43 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan 'On Advertising' were violated.
As a result of reviewing the case, a financial fine was imposed on the bank. Additionally, the bank was issued an instruction that must be fulfilled to eliminate the violation and ensure that such situations do not recur in the future.
