Namangan deputy police chief transferred to Andijan after public dispute with Namangan mayor over speed radars

According to Kun.uz sources, Gaziyev officially assumed his new role in Andijan just two days ago. The Andijan police press service confirmed his appointment.

The controversy began when Mayor Otakhojaev sent a letter to Gaziyev demanding the removal of illegally installed photo radars, arguing that they violated established regulations and were fueling public discontent.

In response, Lieutenant Colonel Gaziyev sent a letter stating that the mayor’s official vehicle had committed 47 traffic violations in 2024 alone. He further urged the mayor to critically examine repeated traffic violations committed by vehicles operated by the city administration and by the municipal governments of Davlatabad and Yangi Namangan districts. He also requested assistance in collecting overdue traffic fines.

The exchange attracted media attention and sparked public discussion, ultimately coinciding with Gaziyev’s reassignment to a new post.
