Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a video-conference on improvement of country’s villages in line with the “Obod qishloq” [Comfortable village] program, Trend reported.
“No practical measures have been taken on improvement of villages over the past 25 years, apart from construction of standard housing. The necessary financial resources have not been allocated. Streets, social facilities, drinking water, electricity and other important utilities in most of the villages worn out and ceased to meet modern requirements due to lack of required attention,” the president said.
He said that disorderly and unauthorized construction without observing the norms and modern requirements by the population has become commonplace. The villagers got used to this state of affairs and have stopped paying attention to the improvement of their streets, houses and yards.
“It is easy to imagine what the mood of people living in places with deplorable infrastructure is. And why should our citizens live in such places?” Mirziyoyev said.
He noted that the improvement of villages will change the world outlook of people, strengthen their desire to live better, raise the economy of villages. As a result, the economy of the entire country will receive a powerful boost to development.
In 2018, improvement projects for 368 villages were approved. They provide for the repair and improvement of 127,000 houses, laying of 1,900 kilometers of drinking water supply networks, nearly 2,000 kilometers of power and 263 kilometers of gas supply line, construction and repair of 850 social facilities and 2,400 market objects, overhaul of 440 kilometers of roads, purchase of 470 buses, construction of more than 330 bus stops and the opening of new bus routes. Some 3.45 trillion soums will be allocated for this purpose.
The president touched upon aspects of organization, financing, design and implementation of the planned work. Instructions are given to develop general layouts of villages.
