Restoration works started at the Palace of Buhara Emir’s Governor located in the Kulob 2700th Anniversary memorial. The Palace was destroyed in early 20th century as a result of establishment of Soviet power in Eastern Buhara.
In his interview to AP Deputy Director of the Regional Center for Coordination of Social Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Development Projects Akramjon Akramov said that restoration works are aimed to restore a fragment of the fortress’ wall. Full restoration of the fortress is not planned.
He said the center designs and funds a series of other objects in the region. “We started to restore the second part of Khulbuk fortress’ wall in Vose region and continue the construction of a secondary school in Kulob, which will accommodate 624 pupils and continue the construction of a 20-bed children’s unit in the Kulob regional hospital,” he said, adding that another 10-bed infectious disease control unit will appear in the hospital till 2014. Furthermore, the center plans to install an independent centralized heating system in the hospital.
In the next 9 years the center also plans to construct one more 9-storey house in Kulob and a secondary school in new villages to where victims of floods were resettled 2 years ago.
“Mayor’s office has already allocate land for construction of these objects, we have also finished the design of these objects and got permissions in related departments. Now we are waiting for funding,” Akramov has said.
