The working visit began in the Tajikabad district. In a new settlement in the rural jamoat of Langari Shokh, the President commissioned residential buildings for families affected by the earthquake. A total of 36 houses were built: 14 four-room houses for completely destroyed homes and 22 two-room houses for partially damaged families. The houses are equipped with all necessary appliances and furniture, including bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and other amenities.
