The Head of the state visited Yashnabad district and got acquainted with the progress of construction activities.

Most importantly, it will take on some of the burden of other types of public transport, will help to relieve traffic in the city center. Moreover, it will be easier to control the charging of fare”, said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
The Head of the state noted the need for accelerating activities, organizing work in several shifts and completing the construction as early as possible.
The President gave instructions on passing the first stage of the aboveground metro on the eve of Navruz celebration next year.
