During the first six months of this year, the number of accidents remains high in 20 regions. This was discussed today at a video conference meeting on ensuring road traffic safety, improving infrastructure, and reducing congestion, chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
It is noted that there are many districts where serious accidents have significantly decreased. No deaths have been reported in the districts of Moynoq, Nukus, Takhtakupir, Qonlikol, Yangiobod, Toraqorgon, Okkurgon, Saykhunobod, Bulokboshi, Uluqnor, Bandikhon and the cities of Ohangaron, Shirin, Nurafshon, Khonobod.
However, the situation is the opposite in the districts of Qiziltepa, Uychi, Pakhtachi, Chust, Toyloq, Urgut, Shovot, Pastdargom, Yakkabog, Qushkupir, Khonqa, Denov, Peshku, Beruniy, Olmazor, Bektemir.
Those responsible for the sector have been reminded that having the lowest number of accidents per 100,000 population related to deaths among the Commonwealth of Independent States is not a reason for complacency.
"Unfortunately, the fact that in every fourth accident 1 person dies or on average 6 people die each day should deeply concern everyone,"
- says the President.
