Employees of the "Regional Gas Supply" department, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, identified a natural gas filling station in the Zhamby district that was looting natural gas.

It turned out that an additional compressor was arbitrarily installed at this gas station, which was not provided for in the design and technical documentation. It was also found that the meter was consuming gas in excess of the permissible measurement standards, which is considered illegal.

According to preliminary analysis and calculations, the material damage caused as a result of these actions amounted to approximately 6 billion 480 million soums.

All materials and documents collected on the incident have been officially sent to law enforcement agencies. This situation once again showed how important it is to protect the interests of the local population and the state.
