In Uzbekistan, governors (hokims), prosecutors, and heads of internal affairs departments have been assigned responsibility for mahallas with high crime rates. UzA reported.
They must visit such areas every month and take measures on the ground to resolve residents’ social problems. Mahallas that remain in the “red” category for three years will be placed under special oversight in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs Academy; if the situation does not change within five years, they will be transferred to the National Guard’s supervision.
The main focus will be on targeted assistance to at-risk families and on employment issues. In addition, it is planned to allocate part of local budgets to reward public servants who deliver strong performance.
