The number of road traffic accidents is increasing in Tashkent

According to statistical data published by the Tashkent city administration through the Open Data Portal, a total of 32,028 road traffic accidents (RTAs) were recorded across the Republic from 2018 to August 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
