The Surkhandarya Regional Department of the Competition Promotion and Consumer Protection Committee, together with the Digital Transformation and Outsourcing Center, a state institution under the Committee, continues systematic efforts aimed at preserving the historical and architectural character of cities and districts, while ensuring compliance with legislation governing the installation and operation of outdoor advertising structures.
As part of these efforts, a joint inspection of outdoor advertisements placed on vehicles was conducted in the city of Termez in cooperation with the Surkhandarya Regional Administration and the Regional Road Traffic Safety Service. During the inspection, advertising permits (passports) and the documentation of advertising spaces on more than 20 vehicles were reviewed.
In addition, drivers were provided with explanations regarding the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Advertising” and Resolution No. 428 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated 31 August 2023. Legal awareness activities were also carried out to promote the lawful placement and registration of outdoor advertising.
Such initiatives contribute to ensuring compliance with legislation in the field of outdoor advertising, preserving the architectural appearance of cities, and fostering a healthy competitive environment. Similar inspection and legal awareness campaigns are planned to be conducted systematically and on a continuous basis across all regions of Uzbekistan.
