According to the Avesta agency, the head of the press center of the Committee for Emergency Situations, Umida Yusufi, stated that on November 15, an alert was received from residents of Bukhoro Street 34 in Dushanbe.

Eyewitnesses reported that one of the residents of the building was threatening to take her own life by jumping from the 15th floor and needed rescue assistance for evacuation.

It turned out that a 1994-born resident of Dushanbe was standing on the ledge, refusing to let anyone approach her and threatening to end her life.

A rescue psychologist began negotiating with the woman, thereby distracting her. At that moment, other rescuers managed to push her back into the apartment through another window. She was handed over to law enforcement authorities.

According to preliminary data, the young woman took such a desperate step due to family problems.

Since the beginning of 2021, rescuers from the Committee for Emergency Situations have saved about 200 people as a result of emergency rescue operations, reported Umida Yusufi.
