In Dushanbe, six members of one family were poisoned by carbon monoxide.
According to Tajik media, on the night of February 27 to 28 of this year, six members of one family died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is reported that during the cold weather, “Barki Tojik” cut off electricity, and the father of the family used a coal stove to heat the house, but all household members died from carbon monoxide.
According to media reports, the deceased father was 38 years old, the mother was 37 years old, and the children were 11, 9, 8, and 6 years old.
Their deaths became known on February 28, around 11:00 AM. Neighbors in the Firdavsi district of Dushanbe were the first to discover the bodies.
A group funeral prayer was held the same day, after which they were buried in a local cemetery.
This news was published by the media and on social networks at a time when residents are complaining about electricity outages in the capital, while representatives of “Barki Tojik” confirmed in conversations with journalists that a limit on electricity had been introduced in Dushanbe, as well as in other cities and regions of the country.
Social media users blame the leadership of the energy holding “Barki Tojik” for the deaths of the six family members and demand that they be held accountable.

Residents of remote areas say they receive electricity for only 5 hours a day – 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening.
On February 13, 2024, the director of the state energy holding company “Barki Tojik,” Mahmadumar Asozoda, stated at a press conference that according to a new agreement with the Afghan energy company “Breshna,” Tajikistan will supply Afghanistan with 1.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity this year.
The director of “Barki Tojik” stated that in 2023, Tajikistan exported 1.6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Afghanistan. The exported electricity to this country is mainly supplied in the spring-summer period, while in the autumn-winter period, the volume of supplies is reduced to preserve the power lines.
Experts believe that electricity is supplied to Afghanistan under an agreement, and during the autumn-winter period, the volume of supplies does not decrease, but rather increases due to higher demand, with the aim of generating greater profit.
If electricity production in Tajikistan decreases, the authorities compensate for the shortfall by introducing limits on electricity supply to the population, but the volumes of exports to Afghanistan and Uzbekistan are not reduced.
