During a swift operation aimed at protecting the rights of business entities, conducted in collaboration with the Bukhara city department and regional law enforcement officials, M.S., the leading engineer from the Korovulbazar district branch of the Cadastre Chamber, was found to have accepted the money from citizen A.K. and businessman J.S.
