The body of a man who drowned in the Piskom River in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region has been found after 15 days, it is reported.

On August 26, a 30-year-old resident of the Kibray district, while riding a SUP board on the river with a group of companions, lost control, hit a rocky bank, and fell into the water.

According to the ministry, because the citizen was not wearing a life jacket, contrary to safety requirements, the strong water current swept him away.

From the day the incident occurred, MES divers conducted continuous search and rescue operations in the area. On September 10, at 09:50, the citizen's body was pulled out of the water.

The MES urges citizens to strictly observe safety rules in water bodies and to always use life jackets when moving on water.

Earlier, after a week-long search, MES rescuers found the body of one of two sons who drowned along with their father in the Charvak reservoir.

The search operations are ongoing.
