This was reported on Friday by the press service of the regional department of the Committee for Emergency Situations.

“Employees of the Rescue Department of the Khatlon Main Directorate of the Emergency Situations Committee, who promptly arrived at the scene, found the woman 500–600 meters downstream during the search and rescue operation and pulled her out of the water alive,” the committee reported.
