According to reports, one of three pieces of testing laboratory equipment imported from Germany has gone missing. Specifically, a “Brake Stand” weighing 1.2 tons and valued at 150 million soums, along with a gas cylinder measuring device worth 250 million soums, were stolen from the branch.

In addition to the theft, it has been revealed that approximately 6 billion soums were spent inefficiently within the institution.
