Attempts to get rich at the expense of others' hopes are not only a violation of the law but also a betrayal of human trust. The situation becomes even more dangerous for society, especially in fields such as education and medicine, which are directly related to a person's fate.
During operational activities conducted in the Bukhara region, a man who gained the trust of a citizen through dubious promises was detained.
Yozovon, located in the central districts of the Fergana Valley, possesses a unique climate and geographical zone. Livestock farming is also developed among the sand dunes. Thanks to the picturesque landscapes in the region, there are more than ten ponds where famous carp is grown, which is in demand among consumers in neighboring provinces.
Initially, fishing could have been the driving force for the area, but the development of the industry was hindered by problems with feed supply.
The Chinese company 'HUALONG SILIAO' studied the needs and demand for aquaculture in Yozovon and built a plant that produces 30 thousand tons of feed annually, investing $10 million in it. The plant has already been commissioned and has started shipping its first products to local farms.
Company head Jasurbek Ikromjonov reported that they produce five types of products, which differ depending on the type and size of the fish. 80 tons of feed are prepared on each shift at the plant. The product includes flour, fish, chicken meat, soy, corn, rice, and millet.
Co-founder of 'HUALONG SILIAO', Joe Bing, noted that the produced feed has medicinal properties, helping to cleanse the fish of various parasites. Furthermore, this feed does not sink in the water, meaning that one hundred percent of the provided feed is consumed by the fish. Previously, the previous feeds decomposed in the water, and 15-20% settled before the fish could eat them.
The plant's products are continuously sent to customers. The unique characteristics of this feed attract aquaculture farmers and enterprises from remote provinces.
Jasurbek Ikromjonov added that currently, special vitamin, medicinal, and antibacterial feeds for fish, as well as feeds against various parasitic diseases, are being produced. The finished products are delivered to Samarkand, Khorezm, and Jizzakh. The main goal for next year is to start exporting products to foreign countries. The company is located in the Fergana region and is currently the only enterprise in Central Asia in this field.
Over the past ten years, significant changes have taken place in all spheres of the country, including the approach to labor, improvement of working conditions, and raising the social status of representatives of various sectors.
The importance of a healthy social environment is emphasized. Society demonstrates imbalance if every segment of the population is not treated with consideration for its dignity. In this context, the social protection system is recognized as one of the most developed areas currently. Thanks to the new policy of New Uzbekistan, based on the principle of human value, equality and transparency are growing in society. This is the result of hard work and strong political will.
Previously, people with disabilities lived in isolation, feeling forgotten. Today, they are provided not only with attention but also with opportunities to enhance their abilities and contribute to the development of society. Even persons with disabilities now hold responsible positions in prestigious organizations, which is achieved through phased reforms.
Firstly, the National Agency for Social Protection was established, which took control of people with disabilities. Furthermore, the Center for Social Services for People in Need of Social Protection was founded under this agency, ensuring systematic coverage of vulnerable segments of the population. This is evident in the care provided to people in severe emotional crisis, as well as to women and children. Additionally, the disability determination system was radically modernized: it was completely converted to an electronic format, which allowed the elimination of excessive bureaucratic hurdles and guaranteed the prevention of third-party interference.
Thus, one of the key achievements of New Uzbekistan is the progress in the social protection system, which contributes to the formation of an inclusive environment in society. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stressed that instead of providing material assistance to people with disabilities, they should be actively involved in the labor market and provided with favorable conditions. He noted that the most important thing for people with disabilities is the provision of opportunities, which in turn fuels hope and belief in the future.
As part of the state policy to improve the penal system, ensure human rights and freedoms, and create proper conditions for convicted and detained persons, large-scale reforms have been undertaken. These transformations are aimed not only at strengthening the material and technical base of institutions but also at implementing advanced digital solutions and international standards in this field.
In line with these goals, a new, modern building of the Central Investigative Prison, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Penal Execution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has been commissioned. The opening ceremony was attended by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Lieutenant General Aziz Toshpulatov, heads of state bodies for the protection of rights and legality, representatives of the Ministry of Digital Technologies, as well as members of LLC "Unicon.uz" and public representatives.
The event was attended by the Chairman of the Supreme Court Robakhon Mahmudov, Prosecutor General Nigmatulla Yuldoshev, Minister of Justice Akbar Toshkulov, Minister of Emergency Situations Azizbek Ikromov, representative of the Ombudsman of the Supreme Council for Human Rights Feruza Eshmatova, representative of the Ombudsman of the Supreme Council for Children's Rights Surayyo Rahmonova, representatives of the Bar Association, and other responsible officials who familiarized themselves with the capabilities created in the institution.
It was particularly emphasized that this institution is an important step towards fulfilling the tasks set by the head of state, preserving human value, and operating in accordance with international law norms. The main function of the Central Investigative Prison is to detain individuals under investigation until a judicial decision is made in accordance with legislative requirements. Therefore, all conditions, security measures, and legal guarantees here have been carefully considered.
The commissioning of this modern facility, which fully complies with international standards, has allowed for the resolution of several existing problems. For example, the conditions for lawyers and investigators have been radically improved: the number of lawyer rooms has increased from 19 to 50, and investigative rooms from 6 to 25. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and the Bar Association, the "E-advokat" platform has been launched, allowing lawyers to schedule meetings with protected persons online.
In the traditional system, the right to defense was provided for 70–80 people per day, but thanks to the digital platform, this figure has increased to more than 150–200 people with 19 rooms. After the commissioning of 50 new rooms, it will be possible to organize meetings with lawyers for 500–600 people daily. The number of online courtrooms has been increased from 4 to 11, expanding the possibilities for remote conducting of investigative and judicial processes. Additionally, every institution now has the capability to provide notary services online.
The number of rooms for short visits with relatives of inmates has increased from 14 to 36, which has helped reduce tension and satisfy legitimate public demands. The integration of the "E-Mahkum" platform and the intelligent monitoring platform "Qal'a" into a unified information space has facilitated information exchange with 25 organizations, including electronic document exchange with courts and investigative bodies. The control system in the institution is fully automated; separate entrances and exits are provided for citizens, staff, and lawyers, completely eliminating the problem of daily queues. 55 cells have been allocated and equipped for minors and women with children in the investigative prisons in accordance with international standards.
For the convenience of relatives of persons in places of deprivation of liberty, the sending of parcels, banners, and flowers through an online store has been introduced into practice. In the new building, constructed according to international requirements, special attention has been paid to security and transparency. All rooms and passages are equipped with high-resolution video surveillance cameras and connected to a single centralized monitoring system, which strengthens the openness and security of the institution's operation. Guests were thoroughly presented with the mechanisms of operation of polling stations established on the territory of the institution, as well as the "Raqamli do'kon," "M-billing," and "Videouchrashuv" systems designed to meet the needs of inmates. These innovative solutions contribute to ensuring the legitimate rights of inmates, maintaining contact with their loved ones, and transitioning the service provision process to a modern format.
