The Mirzo-Ulugbek District Khokimiyat assured residents that the Soviet mosaic would not be damaged during renovation work.

The news that the Soviet mosaic by the Zharsky brothers on building No. 1 in the Turon mahalla of the Mirzo-Ulugbek District in Tashkent was in danger of being destroyed during façade renovations was widely discussed on social media. It was discovered that an attempt had been made to paint over the unique mural and integrate it into a modern mural. However, following a wave of outrage from residents and widespread publicity online, the work was suspended.

The Mirzo-Ulugbek District Khokimiyat responded promptly to the situation. Administration representatives assured that the mosaic would be preserved and restored, and that a personalized approach would be taken to the entire structure.

Repair work is currently not being carried out directly on the mural. Its condition is being assessed by specialized specialists. Based on their findings, authorities will develop a restoration plan aimed at preserving as much of the original appearance of this artistic treasure as possible. The Khokimiyat also expressed gratitude to the city residents for their commitment to the district's architectural heritage.

It was previously reported that the historic mosaic panels of the old terminal of Andijan International Airport would be preserved after the building's demolition and transferred to the new terminal. They are planned to be housed in a small museum to be established in the new terminal.
