DUSHANBE, June 22, 2016, Asia-Plus – Deputies of Tajikistan’s lower house (Majlisi Namoyandagon) of parliament have unanimously voted for amendments proposed by the government to Tajikistan’s town-planning code.

A regular sitting of the second session of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the fifth convocation, presided over by its head, Shukurjon Zuhurov, took place on June 22.

Speaking at the session, the head of the Committee for Architecture and Construction under the Government of Tajikistan, Jamshed Mahmadzoda, noted that there was misunderstanding in issues related to pricing in the construction industry.
