- Let me focus on one issue. This week, the fire at the apparel market in Kokand caused damage to hundreds of our businessmen. Let our Kokand businessmen be calm, we will not leave anyone alone. This market will be completely restored within one month, we will mobilize all our forces and means for this. Whoever worked in the store will continue his business there, he said.
The candidate added that the loan and tax payments of all entrepreneurs affected by the fire will be delayed. In order to “get them back on their feet” again, preferential loans will be allocated for working capital. Houses of residents damaged by the fire in the areas adjacent to the market will be completely repaired.
“In general, we will adopt a big program to attract leading project organizations and turn the markets into modern, convenient, trade complexes that meet all security requirements,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
