In addition, on August 7, 2024, the Head of State signed the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Recognition of Rights to Unauthorized Land Plots and Buildings and Structures Constructed on Them”. According to available data, there are currently more than 3,600,000 land plots that do not have legal documents. The adoption of this law is a clear expression of concern for citizens and their social support. It should be noted that our country has previously declared an “amnesty” for arbitrarily occupied land plots.

On this basis, on August 21, 2024, in order to raise the legal awareness of the population on these issues, an event “Ombudsman School” was held for the residents of mahallas “Katta Yilmas”, “Ettiqashqa”, “Yashik” of Norinsky district.
