Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has organized a working group to study activities aimed at ensuring public safety during nighttime hours in the Yunusobod and Mirzo Ulugbek districts of Tashkent, including inspections of key energy and trade facilities.

During the visit, the working group examined the complex along Sayilgoh and Zarafshan streets in the Yunusobod district, a key cultural and socio-tourism centre in the capital. The site, known for creating an enjoyable, creative atmosphere for residents and visitors, was evaluated for its coordination of nighttime services, public safety measures, and general conditions for recreation.

As part of the inspection, the working group also visited the “Chinobod Plaza” Health and Recreation Complex in the Otchopar-2 mahalla. There, they reviewed conditions for visitors, preparedness for the autumn-winter season, and preventive measures to avoid emergencies.

Special attention was given to the Yunusobod Dehkan Market and Megaplanet Shopping Complex, located in Akbarobod mahalla. The working group assessed the effectiveness of the security system, personnel readiness, and safety measures established for entrepreneurs and shoppers.

Furthermore, the working group became familiar with the activities of the newly commissioned Law Enforcement Unit No. 1 in the Shark Hakikati mahalla, which plays an essential role in maintaining public order and preventing crimes in several nearby communities. Detailed instructions were given regarding the expansion of successful practices from this area to other districts and the intensification of analysis for early crime prevention.

In the Mirzo Ulugbek district, the study focused on the “Shakhrisabz” mahalla, where the current socio-criminogenic situation and cooperation between law enforcement officers and mahalla activists were reviewed. The working group also inspected the 24/7 service center and the tourist-gastronomic street on Uzbek Ovozi Street, assessing the operational readiness of personnel responsible for maintaining public order and safety.

Relevant instructions were issued to eliminate identified shortcomings, ensure a systematic and vigilant night patrol organization, and improve coordination among the responsible agencies.

The Ministry’s working group continues to conduct similar studies in other districts of the capital to enhance public safety and improve service effectiveness.
