KULOB, July 11, 2012, Asia-Plus — To-date, no one of more than 600 mosques and houses of worship functioning in Khatlon’s Kulob region has been insured, Nouriddin Abdulloyev, head of office of Tojiksughurta (state-run insurance company) in Kulob, announced at a news conference in Kulob on July 11.
According to him, they have justified that by lack of money.
“Meanwhile, local residents are also no in hurry to insure their houses,” said Abdulloyev. “When several hundreds of residential buildings were destroyed by mudflows in Kulob two years ago, it turned out that no one of those houses was insured.”
Of more than 130,000 residential buildings in the region, only little more than 12,000 have been insured to date, the head of Tojiksughurta’s office in Kulob noted.
