Dushanbe without water: beautiful city or toilet city?

For more than two decades, Emomali Rahmon has been discussing the issue of providing peace with “clean drinking water,” yet his son Rustam Emomali, the mayor of Dushanbe, cannot even supply water to the capital of the country.

On August 8, 2023, journalist Mahmadullo Maksadullo criticized the lack of water in the capital and wrote:

“Residents of the upper floors of high-rise buildings throw ‘bottles’ filled with their urine onto the street.”

According to this resident of the capital, these residents even dare to claim that “there is no water in the house, the apartments are filled with stench.”

“This is your city, why do you regret it? As if you descended from the Moon and do not know your city? Such things happen in the so-called new high-rises in the center, at the turn of Yakkachinor, from the side of the ‘Trade Union’,” writes Mahmadullo Maksadullo.

Some users confirmed such incidents in the capital of Tajikistan.  

“There is nothing surprising, residents can do anything,” writes one.

“This is the future of a beautiful city when there is no water,” writes another.

“If you look around the houses, you can see everything, even the urine and feces of children,” writes a third.

The Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defense of Tajikistan also joined the discussion and wrote: “This barbarism must be stopped!”

Since Rustam Emomali, the eldest son of President Emomali Rahmon, took the mayor’s office in the capital, residents of the city have faced even greater difficulties, including water outages, untimely waste removal from garbage bins, and overall cleanliness in the city has significantly deteriorated.

Rustam Emomali, the mayor of Dushanbe and the eldest son of Emomali Rahmon, has all the conditions and opportunities to solve the city’s problems.  If he wanted to and took action, he could eliminate all issues, including water supply, waste removal from garbage bins, and public transport problems in the capital.

However, as user Khomid Khostikhudoev writes: “If faith has weakened, we expect even worse. When the main water pipe was blocked, we even saw people throwing g…. in plastic bags.”
