At the 19th plenary session of the Senate, the issue of changing the boundaries of the city of Zarafshan and the Tamdinsky District of the Navoi Region was discussed.

It was noted that this initiative was developed with the aim of ensuring the long‑term development of the city of Zarafshan, the effective use of the territory’s economic potential, attracting investment, creating decent living conditions for the population, and generating new jobs.

The resolution provides for the transfer of 2,459 hectares of land from the Tamdy district to the city of Zarafshan.

As a result of the development of new territories, it is planned to implement more than 250 industrial and production projects, create 90 social facilities, and establish more than 500 retail, household, and service outlets.

As a result of the expansion of industrial and production capacities, an increase in population and economic activity in the city of Zarafshan, the need for housing, social services, and engineering and communications infrastructure is also growing. In this context, the expansion of the city’s boundaries creates the necessary territorial opportunities for its future development.

At the same time, in the new territories, along with the construction of residential buildings, opportunities will be created to provide the population with the necessary engineering and utility infrastructure facilities, drinking water and electricity, roads, a sewage system, and other engineering and communication infrastructure facilities.

This, in turn, opens up new opportunities to ensure employment for the population, especially for young people and citizens entering the labor market.

In their speeches, the senators emphasized the importance of comprehensive and planned development of new territories, noting that their incorporation into the city should not be limited to mere administrative transformation but should be accompanied by the creation of the necessary conditions for the full‑fledged development of these territories.

Following the discussion, the Senate adopted the relevant resolution.
