Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- During a joint raid by the State Security Service of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Uzneftegazinspektsiya in Yangiyul district of Tashkent region, a fact of illegal connection of a baked brick factory to the gas pipeline was discovered. The amount of damage amounted to over 12.5 billion soums.

This volume of illegally used natural gas is equivalent to a monthly gas supply during the summer period of 63,000 households!

Located on the territory of the mahalla U. Musaev, the production workshop belongs to Urtaovul oltin gisht LLC.

As it was found from the documents, back in September 2020, this brick workshop was disconnected for violations from gas networks with the dismantling of pipes. Despite this, the so-called entrepreneurs carried out another gross violation - repeated illegal connection to the gas supply without installing a gas meter.

The identification of such violations with the punishment of the perpetrators will continue.
