The Tajik government decided to include the Sharki Ozod printing facility in the list of vitally important objects of infrastructure in the conditions of the ongoing energy crisis in the country.

Sharki Ozod facilitates publication of the main periodicals – both government and private outlets. Shavkat Soidov, press secretary of the Dushanbe municipality told the media that the printing house will not be cut off current during the crisis.

“The decision was made jointly by the mayor’s office and the Barki Tojik energy holding, — said Saidov. — Sharki Ozod will have uninterrupted power supply 24 hours a day. The only exception might be in case of an occasional accident within the city power grid”.

Saidov also told that the key healthcare and other important facilities are included in the list of vitally important objects.

On 12 February the authorities introduced essential limitations on power supply. Most of the Dushanbe residents have access to electricity from 5 to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 11 p.m.
