In the Furkat district of Fergana region, a strange incident occurred when a group of citizens actively resisted law enforcement officers during the installation of surveillance cameras.

According to the local Department of Internal Affairs, on November 21, a businessman was installing cameras near shops on Istiklol Street. However, this initiative sparked dissatisfaction among local residents. A woman, two men, and a minor attempted to hinder the installation, although the reasons for their discontent remain unclear.

Officers from the district’s preventive service arrived at the scene to resolve the conflict and calm the participants. However, the citizens, disregarding public order, escalated the situation into a scandal. They refused to comply with the lawful demands of the officers, used physical force against them, and damaged their uniforms.

The question of why the citizens reacted so strongly to the installation of cameras remains unanswered. Surveillance cameras are an important tool for ensuring public safety and order, and their installation is standard practice.

Currently, the prosecutor’s office is conducting a preliminary investigation into the incident. Based on its findings, a legal decision regarding the participants will be made.

Incidents like this raise concerns about the legal awareness of the population and the need for public education. The installation of cameras aims to prevent crimes and enhance safety, not to infringe on anyone’s rights.
