According to Shavkat Saidov, a spokesman for the Dushanbe mayor, the meeting, in particular, heard an report by the Dushanbe firefighting directorate chief Rahmon Ismoilov abut fire-prevention measures taken in the city.
Speaking at the meeting, Ismoilov noted that despite efforts undertaken by the firefighting directorate and explanatory work carried out among the population the fire situation in the city leaves much to be desired.
