The oil leak into a canal in Andijan region has raised serious environmental concerns. The incident occurred on July 29, 2025, in a canal passing through Bulokboshi district. A video circulating on social media clearly shows an oil film on the surface of the water. This situation has drawn public attention and prompted urgent action from the regional Department of Ecology.
According to official information, the leak was caused by a technological accident at the "Sanoat Energetika Guruhi" enterprise. As a result, oil products were released uncontrollably into the canal. Environmental inspectors quickly arrived at the scene, launched an investigation, and began assessing the damage to the environment.
During the inspection, specialists collected water samples and analyzed the level of pollution in laboratory conditions. Studies are ongoing to determine the extent of the spread and how far the contaminants may have traveled downstream. Ecologists consider this a serious incident, as it poses a risk not only to nature but also to public health.
The regional ecology department stated that the oil leak has now been stopped, and the pollution source has been eliminated. Relevant documents have been sent to the enterprise, and legal measures regarding liability are being reviewed. The company's management has been asked to provide an official explanation, and compensation measures are also being considered.
Authorities have established continuous monitoring of the situation. Environmental inspections are being carried out locally, and public awareness campaigns have been launched. Experts emphasize that such cases can severely harm natural ecosystems and pollute water resources.
