Emergency services in Tashkent, Uzbekistan have raided student hostels in the Almazar district and temporarily shut down three of them.
Inspectors found serious fire safety and sanitary violations, cut the buildings off from gas and electricity, and moved the students into safe dormitories, Tashkent_Land reports.
Why it matters: hostel safety has become a live issue in the capital, and a raid that closes three buildings at once shows the authorities are now acting on it rather than just warning owners.
