President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, during his recent visit to Samarkand, instructed to build an elevated light metro, the Deputy PM in charge of Social Development Aziz Abdukhakimov told Uzbekistan 24.
It is expected that the line will connect Samarkand with the new tourist center, which will be located in the rowing canal.
“For the convenience of Samarkanders, so that they could at any time visit the tourist complex in the rowing canal, Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed to build an elevated light metro.
