Demolition of window bars halted in Tashkent after resident protests

The suspension of the demolition was prompted by complaints from residents on social media. According to reports in the "Potrebitel.Uz" community, on October 11, workers began cutting down window constructions in one of the mahallas, managing to dismantle them on the fifth floor of one of the houses, citing new rules for housing maintenance and the lack of constructions in the cadastre. The Tashkent city administration stated that it did not initiate the demolition and is against such measures. The authorities have launched a service check: the actions of the persons who gave the order will be evaluated for self-will and excess of official powers. Following the investigation, the Mirzo-Ulugbek district administration plans to take measures and form steps to prevent similar situations in the future.
