Who violates traffic rules the most in Dushanbe?

On August 22, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan published a list of drivers and vehicle numbers that have repeatedly violated traffic rules.

Most violations were recorded by the “Safe City” cameras. The list includes offenders who have violated traffic rules dozens of times but have not paid fines.

The majority of vehicles on the list of habitual offenders belong to state enterprises, private companies, and individuals close to officials.

“Recently, some vehicle drivers, especially young people, deliberately ignore traffic regulations,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted in a statement.

Included in the Ministry’s list is a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, license plate 843ZP01, whose driver has violated traffic rules 23 times and has not paid fines. It is noted that the vehicle belongs to a private educational institution located at 34 Lohuti Street, Ismoili Somoni District, Dushanbe.

The private educational institution located at this address, known as the “Rahnamo” Lyceum, is owned by Abdullohi Rahnamo, head of the Department of Analysis and Forecasting of Foreign Policy at the Center for Strategic Research under the President of Tajikistan.

To confirm this information, we contacted the educational institution, but the director, Hakimov, did not respond to questions from Azda TV journalists and hung up the phone. It is still unknown who was driving this vehicle.

The list also includes another habitual offender – a “Ravon” vehicle, license plate 1932TT09, owned by the company LLC “Saiyohon,” which has 18 unpaid fines. Sources familiar with this company reported that it is connected to individuals close to the family of Emomali Rahmon.

The list also contains individuals with up to 50 unpaid fines, who are presumably either officials or their relatives.
