The press service of the General Prosecutor’s Office reports that “a resident of the village of Bakaron, the community of Simigandj in the city of Vahdat, Holov Izzatullo Khursandovich, without obtaining special permission from the public commission for the regulation of traditions, celebrations, and rituals, prepared food at his home and held the anniversary of his brother’s death on March 6, 2022, at 9:00 during working hours.”

It is reported that the court of the city of Vahdat fined Holov in the amount of 50 calculated indicators, which is 3200 somoni.

In most cities and districts, residents wishing to hold a wedding or other ceremony pay a certain amount to the head of the public commission for the regulation of traditions, celebrations, and rituals in the area. Depending on the number of guests or the timing of the ceremony, the amount increases. The head of the commission can also grant permission to his acquaintances and relatives.

At the same time, city and district officials do not need special permits. They can hold lavish celebrations and no one will fine them.
