“Nation’s Health First”: Government Tightens Environmental Oversight
Uzbekistan
A sharp deterioration in air quality in Tashkent and other regions has prompted the government to take urgent action. The President instructed Saida Mirziyoyeva to mobilize all available resources to address the environmental crisis as quickly as possible.
In response to worsening air pollution across Tashkent and several cities of Uzbekistan, a Special Commission has been established and has been operating in an intensified mode in recent days. Its mandate includes identifying pollution sources, conducting inspections, and enforcing strict measures against violators of environmental legislation.
Today, the first results were presented as mayors of cities and regions, along with heads of relevant agencies, delivered their reports. Authorities emphasize that the decisions made by the Commission must be systemic, ensuring not only immediate improvements but also preventing similar ecological emergencies in the future.
The Commission has been assigned clear deadlines and measurable goals. Officials stress that the health of the nation cannot be treated as a secondary issue. Ensuring clean air, safe water, and a stable environment remains one of the country’s top priorities.
