The Agency for External Labor Migration of Uzbekistan has issued an important warning to Uzbek citizens working in Kazakhstan and returning home. Due to the increasing number of traffic accidents involving unreliable vehicles, Uzbeks are strongly urged to avoid using the services of private carriers who do not undergo the necessary technical inspections and lack sufficient experience in operating buses and minivans.
It appears that this warning refers to unofficial transport companies and private drivers who offer passenger transportation services without proper oversight and licensing. These carriers often use buses and minivans that do not meet safety standards, leading to a rise in accidents involving these vehicles. Of particular concern is the fact that most of these vehicles are in poor technical condition, and the drivers, often without the required qualifications, struggle to manage long-distance routes.
One of the reasons many Uzbek migrants opt for such services is their lower cost compared to official carriers. Private carriers offer more affordable rates, which is appealing to labor migrants, especially those looking to save money on their journey home. However, saving on transport may prove to be much more costly, considering the high risks associated with such trips.
Officials strongly recommend that citizens follow safety rules, choose only reliable vehicles, and use the services of reputable companies with experience and all necessary permits. It is crucial to remember that the journey home should be safe, and choosing unreliable transport could lead to tragic consequences.
As emphasized by the agency, the main goal of this message is to ensure the safety of Uzbek citizens at all stages of their return home.
“Remember, your family is waiting for you at home,” the officials remind, urging migrants to take a responsible approach to transport choices and not to risk their lives for short-term savings.
