The inspection revealed a number of serious violations of environmental legislation. In particular, certain pollutants in atmospheric emissions were found to exceed the established limits. The facility was also found to be discharging untreated wastewater generated during the production process onto the surrounding land and storing production and other waste in unauthorised locations. Furthermore, the company was not fully complying with environmental requirements governing waste storage and disposal.

It should be noted that the company had been issued mandatory instructions to rectify the identified violations. However, as these requirements were not fully met, the Department filed a claim with the economic court.
The Gulistan Interdistrict Economic Court ruled in favour of the Department of Ecology. Pursuant to the court's decision, the company's operations have been suspended until all identified environmental violations are fully remedied.

Meanwhile, enforcement inspections and monitoring raids aimed at improving ambient air quality are continuing across all regions of the country. Earlier, the operations of a company in Fergana Region were also suspended for using defective filtration equipment.
