By order of Rustam Emomali, the developer destroyed the highway

Residents of the Shokhmansur district of Dushanbe have appealed to the city chairman by writing a complaint.

In the letter, signed by a group of residents and a copy of which was published in the “Akhbor baroi afkor/Information for Reflection” Facebook group by user Odilov Dilshod, the residents of Ahmad Donish Street, 3, complain that they, in cooperation with entrepreneurs, completely asphalted the street in front of their house and also planted trees and flowers. However, shortly thereafter, an entrepreneur constructing a multi-story building nearby destroyed this road with his multi-ton dump trucks and heavy vehicles, thereby nullifying all the efforts and expenses of the residents.

The residents of this street claim that all their efforts to prevent the destructive actions of this entrepreneur, including complaints to the Shokhmansur district leadership, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this district, and the Dushanbe city administration, have gone unanswered. The deputy chairman of the district informed the residents that the construction of the multi-story building on this street is being carried out by order of Rustam Emomali, the mayor of Dushanbe and the eldest son of President Rahmon. The residents argue that it is unacceptable to destroy already improved areas under the pretext of beautification.

In their appeal, the residents of Ahmad Donish Street, 3, also write that in 2020 they appealed to the mayor of Dushanbe, Rustam Emomali, requesting the construction of a children’s and sports playground, but the city administration has still not responded to the residents’ request.

The residents complain about the destruction of the road that they themselves asphalted while Emomali Rahmon, the father of Rustam Emomali, constantly calls on residents to contribute to the beautification of their streets and neighborhoods.

Local residents complain that in many cases entrepreneurs build multi-story buildings near residential houses, often destroying kindergartens, sports grounds, and recreational facilities, making life difficult for local residents, but no one is monitoring all this.
