In the city of Samarkand, a proposal was made to construct an underground pedestrian crossing on Registan Street. This was reported by Upl.uz. This street is adjacent to the world-famous Registan Square, and due to a significant increase in pedestrian traffic, such an initiative has emerged. Acting regional governor Adiz Boboev put forward this proposal to accommodate the growing flow of people and ensure their safety. However, since recent urban planning documents prioritize pedestrians, this project may conflict with some legal regulations. The Samarkand regional administration is considering the possibility of replacing the existing traffic light-controlled above-ground pedestrian crossing with an underground crossing. Nevertheless, this project has not yet been approved at the national level, and its implementation remains uncertain. Meanwhile, another underground pedestrian passage that was closed 18 years ago nearby is being restored. This passage is intended to serve as a substitute for the uncontrolled above-ground crossing. According to the press service of the authorities, these works are related to the increase in tourist flow and the necessity to ensure the safety of schoolchildren. In particular, students living in the "Registan" and "Quloqlar" neighborhoods cross the busy Registan Street daily to attend School No. 2. Adiz Boboev ordered strict adherence to safety regulations during the earthworks. It was recommended that construction activities be carried out at night to avoid inconveniencing drivers. According to the authorities, the construction work is planned to be completed in a short time. Additionally, a new above-ground pedestrian crossing will be established at the intersection of Rudaki and Shohi-Zinda streets, near the Siob market. Traffic lights will be installed there. Representatives of the authorities emphasized that due to the absence of a crossing, people are forced to cross the road at risk or take a long detour to reach stopping points. The acting regional head said: "First and foremost, comfortable conditions must be created for people." Bus stops will be organized in this area, and measures will be taken to regulate taxi parking, as they often occupy parts of the roadway. Initiatives to build underground pedestrian crossings raise questions among experts and the public. Such facilities are often presented as conveniences, but this may be a misinterpretation of the concept. These decisions indicate that state-level documents are either being ignored or misunderstood. It is worth noting that Uzbekistan's strategy for developing the public safety system for 2022-2025 includes the widespread implementation of the "Pedestrian Priority" principle. Furthermore, the presidential decree from April 2022 clearly outlines the priorities in road traffic: pedestrians, public transport, bicycle transport, and automobile transport, in that order. The head of state has repeatedly drawn attention to this issue. In the summer of 2020, he said: "Excessive priority is given to transport on the roads. However, pedestrian movement, people's safety, and health must come first." At a meeting in January of the following year, Shavkat Mirziyoyev raised this topic again and emphasized that the slogan "City for Pedestrians" should be the main principle for all leaders. Journalist Qobil Khidirov commented on the events as follows: "Instead of reducing the number of cars around Registan and lowering speed, a new structure causing inconvenience to pedestrians will appear." The interesting aspect is that

One of the most striking moments of the famous “Magnificent Century” series is the scene where Sultan Suleiman suddenly disappears. This was reported by Upl.uz. He leaves the palace and power, living in complete solitude for forty days. This event raised many questions among viewers because its true meaning was never fully revealed. During his reign, Suleiman was caught between two roles — a loving father and a just ruler. He made decisions that determined the fate of the empire, but these decisions became a heavy trial for him personally. The hardest trial was sentencing his son Mustafa to death. This tragedy left a deep wound in his heart. Then came another blow — the death of his other son, Jahangir, who died unable to overcome the grief of losing his brother. These events led to the sultan’s voluntary isolation. Grief-stricken, Suleiman withdrew to his private chamber. He cut himself off from the world, closed the windows, gave up luxurious clothes, and survived only on bread and water. For forty days in solitude, he sought solace through prayer and struggle with his conscience. He sought forgiveness and peace, but even in silence, his heart continued to feel pain. These forty days served as a purification ritual for him. He strove to accept the tragedy and understand how costly power truly was. His solitude was not only sorrow but also a severe pain endured alone. Like Hurrem, who did not share her grief with others, Suleiman experienced this heavy loss by himself. Voluntary isolation completely changed him. When he emerged from the chamber, he was no longer a father but a ruler, having relinquished a part of himself and forced to bear the heavy burden of power. These forty days became a symbol showing how even the strongest person cannot endure profound grief.

A 35-year-old Uzbek citizen was sentenced in the Turkistan region of Kazakhstan. This was reported by Upl.uz. He was accused of repeatedly raping an eighth-grade student. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment. The accused did not admit his guilt. According to the special interdistrict criminal court of the Turkistan region, this person was suspected under the Criminal Code article "Rape." In mid-2024, he came to the Republic of Kazakhstan to carry out construction work. While working in a house in the Keles district, he took advantage of the helpless condition of a girl born in 2011 living in the neighboring house and had sexual intercourse with her several times without her consent. The prosecutor demanded a life sentence, and the court fully satisfied this demand. The victim's mother found out about her daughter's pregnancy after taking her to the clinic due to abdominal pain. Doctors reported that the girl was in the seventh month of pregnancy. According to the mother, the accused threatened the girl with defamation by saying she had "betrayed" him. The girl remained silent for a long time, and the incident was accidentally revealed. The court found the accused guilty under Article 120, Part 4 of the Criminal Code and sentenced him to life imprisonment. The verdict was announced on August 25, 2024. So far, there is no information about the accused filing an appeal. The verdict has not yet come into legal force.

According to Axror Burxonov, the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a joint operation to apprehend criminals in Turkey has been successfully completed. This was reported by Upl.uz. As a result of cooperation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan and law enforcement agencies in Turkey, three Uzbek citizens suspected of fraud were arrested in Istanbul. These individuals include G‘anijon Arabov (born in 1982, Bukhara region), Shohista Boboyusupova (born in 1992, Samarkand region), and Gulzoda Mukimova (born in 1970, Navoi region). Citizens who have suffered from the illegal actions of these individuals can contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan or its regional divisions, as well as the Uzbek Consulate General in Istanbul. The Ministry emphasizes that criminals cannot avoid criminal liability even if they flee abroad, particularly to Turkey. The principle of enforcing punishment is strictly applied to all criminals. The Uzbek Consulate General in Turkey has recently noted an increase in fraud cases. Our compatriots living abroad are attempting to obtain other citizens’ money through various pretexts by deception. The Consulate urges our citizens to approach any suspicious offers with caution and not to trust even proposals coming from acquaintances. It is necessary not to entrust your money and personal information to strangers. Caution and vigilance must always be a priority.

As of July 1, 2025, the permanent population of Uzbekistan was approximately 37.9 million. This was reported by Upl.uz. The majority of them, that is 21.2 million people or 56%, are citizens of working age. According to experts, this demographic situation is called a "demographic bonus" and can be an important factor for the country's economic growth and the implementation of large-scale reforms. According to the latest data published by the National Statistics Committee, the age structure of the population is as follows: 12.2 million people or 32.2% are below working age, and 4.5 million people or 11.8% are above working age. At the same time, for every person of non-working age, there are almost two people of working age, which ensures a relatively low social burden on society. Such an age structure opens unique opportunities for Uzbekistan. The increase in the young workforce stimulates the production sector, enhances innovative activity, and accelerates the pace of economic development. Proper and efficient use of this human capital is an important factor in the country's strategic development over the next decade. At the same time, the "demographic bonus" also brings certain challenges. Each year, the increase in the working-age population requires the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs. This places tasks on the government to improve the investment climate, liberalize key sectors of the economy, and develop vocational education that meets modern market demands. As analysts emphasize, to fully utilize demographic opportunities, it is necessary to continue structural reforms aimed at reducing the state's role in the economy and creating favorable conditions for the private sector. Effective use of youth labor resources can be a key factor in the further flourishing of Uzbekistan's economy and strengthening its positions in the region. As of January 1, 2025, the average age of Uzbekistan's population was 29.3 years, which is slightly below the world average age.
