A unified operating procedure for retail and service establishments has been approved in Dushanbe. The corresponding decision was made by a decree of the city mayor on April 14, 2026. This was reported by the Dushanbe Department of Internal Affairs.
According to the document, all retail and service businesses, regardless of ownership or departmental affiliation, are required to bring their operating procedures into compliance with established requirements.
To implement this decision, a special commission has been established under the Dushanbe City Executive Authority. It is responsible for reviewing and coordinating business schedules.
Entrepreneurs can contact the commission to submit the necessary documents and receive official approval for their operating hours.
As noted, in order to protect consumer rights, as well as ensure public order and the peace of citizens, police officers will constantly monitor compliance with the established operating hours of retail and service facilities.
