In Tashkent, maple trees are cut down

Videos depicting the felling of numerous maple trees in Tashkent's Yunusabad district were widely shared on social networks, sparking extensive discussions. The capital's Department of Ecology responded to this situation.

After conducting investigations, it was determined that the incident captured in the video took place in the "Akbarabad" neighborhood of District 3 within Yunusabad district.

It was reported that these trees had been damaged and had dried up due to natural factors. Given the current weather conditions, it was concluded that they posed a significant risk to the safety and property of the local population. To mitigate potential hazards, the trees were felled under the supervision of district environmental control inspectors.

Furthermore, it was mentioned that the necessary permits were obtained for this operation.
We would like to remind you that we previously reported that more than 500 trees might be relocated due to construction activities in Tashkent city.
