Demolition Continues in Dushanbe Amid Utility Disruptions and Oversight Failure

Demolition activity is ongoing on Aiini Street in Dushanbe, where residents report that construction workers are dropping materials from upper floors, causing plaster to fall inside apartments. Local utilities have been disrupted, leading to power and internet outages and reduced water pressure. The work is being carried out by LLC "Kasri Bostoni," although construction permission was granted to LLC "Rakhsh Sokhtmon" by Dushanbe Mayor Rustam Emomali in May 2024, with conditions requiring resident agreements.

The situation highlights a conflict between official construction permits and on-site actions, with property owners claiming that the compensation offered is below market value. Institutional complaints filed with the prosecutor's office and the State Supervision Service for Architecture and Construction have not resulted in a stoppage of the work.
