According to the document, funds in the amount of 700 million soums will be allocated from the reserve fund of the capital budget for the repair of the sewerage and drainage system, laying of new concrete trays.
The above measures are taken to prevent flooding during rains.
It should be recalled that earlier the acting governor of Tashkent, Shavkat Umrzakov, promised to solve the problem of flooding of the streets.
Also, it was reported that on April 5, under the chairmanship of the President, a meeting dedicated to the construction of residential buildings in the New Uzbekistan blocks and the implementation of the mortgage program in 2023 was held.
At the meeting, Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed the Tashkent city administration and the Ministry of Construction to adopt a program to solve the problem of the drainage system within two weeks.
In May 2022, the city administration reported that the existing drainage system in the capital was designed in the early 1970s and was put into use until the 1990s. At that time, it became known that an Uzbek scientist living in the USA would deal with the problem of flooding the streets of Tashkent. There is no result yet.
Two hours of rain yesterday caused a collapse in the sewerage system across the city. The city administration explained this by the fact that the existing drainage networks in the city of Tashkent cannot withstand heavy rains.

The acting governor of Tashkent, Shavkat Umrzakov, has signed a decision to allocate 700 million soums from the capital budget’s reserve fund for the repair of the city’s sewerage and drainage system. The funds will be used to lay new concrete trays to prevent flooding during rains. Earlier in April, Umrzakov promised to solve the problem of flooding of the streets, and the President instructed the Tashkent city administration and the Ministry of Construction to adopt a program to solve the problem of the drainage system. The current drainage system in Tashkent was designed in the 1970s and put into use until the 1990s. The existing drainage networks in the city of Tashkent cannot withstand heavy rains, as demonstrated by a collapse in the sewerage system after just two hours of rain.
