In Tashkent, on March 15, a serious accident occurred at a construction site in the city center. The incident resulted in the deaths of two workers, with several others injured. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, and the injured were transported to a hospital.

Preliminary reports indicate that the accident was caused by the collapse of construction materials at the site. External signs suggest possible safety violations, which may have led to the disaster. Safety standards in Uzbekistan's construction industry have been a topic of ongoing discussion.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan and the Prosecutor General's Office have launched an investigation into the incident. Officials promised to determine all circumstances and hold those responsible accountable during the inquiry. The construction company temporarily suspended operations and stated its readiness to provide all information related to the incident.

This incident has once again raised concerns about safety at construction sites in Uzbekistan. Despite an increase in construction projects in the country in recent years, issues with ensuring safety persist. Experts emphasize the need for stricter controls and penalties in the construction sector.
