[Are Uzbeks having to endure a cut-off of natural gas so that Uzbekneftegaz has gas to export? Are shortages of electricity creating the slight surplus of power that is sold to Afghanistan? Where will the electricity come from for the proposed electrification of the Karshi-Termez line, if there is a gas shortage, since nearly all electricity there is generated by burning fuel, not hydroelectric? Like the enormous cotton crop managed by the state which only shows a profit because it is harvested by a captive population, energy exported from Uzbekistan is paid for by the Uzbek people. Such things can only breed resentment among the people, perhaps explaining who might want to blow-up Obama's railroad lifeline.]

Hokim (Head of Administration) Rishtan Ferghana region of Uzbekistan Gayratali Mamadaliev warned local residents that the coming winter, natural gas supply is not guaranteed and recommended stock up on firewood and charcoal to heat homes and cook food according to the group of independent human rights defenders of the republic (IGNPU) .
In kindergarten children with their parents collect three thousand sums to be installed in buildings, stoves, schools, children sit five thousand soms ($ 1 = 2600 sums to the real exchange rate, 1769 – the official). Today, a small bunch of twigs (wood) costs 800 sums, and the price of one ton of coal up to 80 thousand sums. Not everyone in the forces put on such amount at the minimum wage of 57 000 soums IGNPU notes.
According to the group, the gas shortage in the winter threatens the entire Ferghana region, especially Rishtan, Altyaryk, Buvaydiyskomu, district of Baghdad. In Sokh area this year, gas was turned off due to the fact that the inhabitants of border regions of Kyrgyzstan illegally produced gas extraction, arbitrarily setting the pipe.
As for electricity, its population deficit of Ferghana region feels since the early 90s of last century. The last ten years Fergana allow villagers access to electricity by 2-3 times a day, feeding her for 2-3 hours. The reason for such a position of power called the reluctance of the residents to pay bills.
Recall that one of these days hokim Ferghana region was removed from office , the space occupied by his deputy, who dealt with issues of agriculture and water resources.
