Following an inspection conducted by the Minister of Emergency Situations Azizbek Ikramov, the operations of a fuel and lubricants storage facility in Bukhara were temporarily suspended. Violations of fire safety requirements that could have caused a fire or other emergency situations were discovered at the site.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that the storage tanks were not equipped with bunding, fuel and lubricants were leaking from the pipes, and electrical cables were being used in violation of standards. In addition, the distances between the tanks did not match the design specifications, the suction pumps were installed in a makeshift manner, and breathing valves were missing on all ten tanks.

The warehouse will resume operations only after the responsible persons completely eliminate all identified violations.
