Therefore, systematic work is being carried out in the country on ensuring peace and tranquility, protecting public order. Over the past two years, more than 100 legislative acts have been adopted in the sphere.

In particular, the structure and powers of all units of the internal affairs bodies were revised, 65 percent of employees began working directly in makhallas. Main attention is paid to prevention of crime and delinquency. For this, the number of preventive inspectors has been increased by a thousand. Decent social conditions have been created for them to serve directly at places.

On this basis, the activity of the Department of Internal Affairs No.7 of Yunusabad district was organized.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the State Security Service, the National Guard, the Prosecutor’s Office – all must serve people. At the same time, enlightenment activity should be strengthened in society. An atmosphere of general crime intolerance is needed, – said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
