In Khatirchi, eco-police fined individuals who picked hawthorn

In the Khatirchi district of the Navoiy region, individuals who picked hawthorn in the mountains were fined.

It is reported that a raid was conducted by the eco-police officers of the Khatirchi District Ecology and Climate Change Department. During the operation, two people were found gathering and carrying away hawthorn fruits without the appropriate permit in the territory of the Angidon neighborhood.

In connection with the situation, administrative protocols were drawn up against Sh.S. and Yo.R. under Part 1 of Article 79-1 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility (violation of the procedure and conditions for collecting, harvesting, and using flora objects).

"One of the offenders was issued an administrative fine in the amount of 10 times the BHM (Base Calculating Amount), and the second in the amount of 7 times, totaling 7 million 480 thousand sum. Additionally, the damage caused to nature was calculated at 1 million 3 thousand sum," the report states.

Now, the "offenders" who picked hawthorn will have to pay a fine of nearly 7.5 million sum and 1 million sum in damages caused to nature.

According to the relevant decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, the right to special use of wild plants is granted through electronic online auction sales.

A few years ago in Navoiy, ecologists caused objections when they fined a person 2.6 million sum because their goat ate mulberry leaves.
