As stated by the head of Department to monitor the situation in the reservoirs of the Ministry of water economy of Uzbekistan Sharifjon Kuchkarov dam Serdobintseva reservoir occurred from-for adverse weather conditions. Within 2-3 days there it was raining and a strong wind was blowing. But in fact, the reason of this disaster may be different. Experts in the field of construction and reservoirs associated with the editorial staff of “Radio Ozodlik”, believe that it happened because of the appalling corruption, monopolies and theft, according to the website “Now”.
One anonymous expert told reporters about the scheme of “kickbacks”, which operates in the construction of various facilities in Uzbekistan.
“The volume of the reservoir is very large. This is a project worth $ 25 million. If the construction company will have 20-30% with this money, she will never go to the steppe to build this structure. The embezzlement scheme is very simple. For example, the area of the reservoir for ramming which requires 1000 cubic meters of sand, consume 500 cubic metres of sand,” – said the expert.
Journalists also found one of the builders Serdobintseva reservoir. He confirmed that the tools and materials during work on the project just plundered.
“I participated in the construction of this reservoir and I know that gravel and stone was used much less than the required norms. During the construction of the trucks that drove by the gravel and stone, along the way sold to residents of neighboring villages,” said the Builder.
For liquidation of consequences of emergency situations was created a Special government Commission. The Commission is not yet released. However, the sides “Ozodlik” say they do not believe that real culprits of the incident will be found and brought to justice.
“And this time it will happen, as with the investigation of the causes of the incident at the YUNUSABAD metro line. It on behalf Samatova (first Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Achilbay of Ramatov – Approx. “Radio Ozodlik”) for the construction of the metro line were involved in the defense and railway workers who worked for free or almost for free. After the tragic incident of Ramatov headed the government Commission to investigate the causes of the emergency. Perhaps they fined one or two builders for failure to comply with safety, but the main culprits of the tragedy continue to occupy high positions. Just as happened with the incident on Sardobinsky reservoir. The composition of the government Commission again will do the perpetrators of the incident, and laid blame on a natural disaster, “will be released unscathed,” said one of the Uzbek officials from the construction sector.
However, the head of the Department to monitor the situation in the reservoirs of the Ministry of water economy of Uzbekistan Sharifjon Kuchkarov said that for such pessimistic forecasts there is no reason.
“The conversations that blame the strong winds, and the true perpetrators will remain unpunished, have no reason. A government Commission will study all the causes of PE on Sardobinsky reservoir and make its fair conclusion”, – assured the official.
