Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev familiarized himself with the work carried out in the gathering of citizens of the Orzu makhalla in Namangan city based on the concept of a “Comfortable and Safe Mahalla”.

"Orzu" is one of the exemplary mahallas of Namangan. Founded in 2013, the mahalla has 830 standard and 1,682 individual houses. About 12.5 thousand people live here with all amenities and facilities.

During his visit to the region in 2017, the head of state visited this place and got acquainted with the presentation of the system for creating amenities for the population and ensuring security using the example of the Orzu mahalla.

In the small industrial zone "Orzu" organized here, 15 projects have been implemented and more than 930 jobs have been created. About 400 employed are locals. A kindergarten, a school with 650 places, pharmacies, retail outlets and catering facilities, a fitness club, and a field for mini-football were built. Last year, 20 service houses for civil servants were built.

The current visit of the head of our state to the mahalla gave an impetus to another good initiative. The start of the implementation of the “Safe Mahalla” projects in this Mahalla and the “Smart City” in Namangan was launched.

In the course of getting acquainted with the project - a new system of socio-economic geographic information monitoring and digital management of Namangan for our country, the President noted that crime reduction is the biggest issue.

The purpose of the new system is to constantly study the socio-economic situation in the city, daily monitoring, prompt solution of problems based on analytical data, the transition to a new innovative online management method that is highly effective in decision making.

In this system, all indicators are displayed on the monitor through a geographical map. In particular, data on the population, single elderly people, educational institutions, the labor market, investment projects, poor families, and the criminal situation are constantly being introduced.

The system, launched as an experiment, will then be connected to electronic databases in all areas. As a result, it will be possible to track the socio-economic indicators of the city online, objectively assess the situation, control problems and take the necessary measures. This is an important factor in ensuring peace and security of the population.

The head of our state drew attention to the insufficient work of the crime control sectors. Officials of the Ministry of the Interior, the National Guard and the Prosecutor General’s Office were tasked with studying the factors that impede peace in the mahallas and developing legal conditions for the work of the sectors.

- Sector leaders in the regions will now be responsible for the results in the fight against crime. We are moving to this system to find answers to the questions: how much crime has decreased, how many lost people have been returned on the right track? If we put the economy in order, solve the issue of crime, peace, justice, we will create decent conditions for our people,” said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

Measures have been identified to expand the training of psychologists for working with the population, and to eliminate factors contributing to the commission of crimes. The reports of the heads of sectors of the region on ongoing work on crime prevention in Namangan were heard.
