New railway links Central, South Uzbekistan

A railway-linking central Uzbekistan with the south of the country has been commissioned ahead of schedule. Uzbek President Islam Karimov traveled on the first train along one of its sections and visited railway stations on Saturday, the presidential press service reports.

At the opening ceremony at Darban station Karimov thanked the builders. "I think it is no exaggeration to say that the construction and early commissioning of this 223-kilomeer railway built in merely 33 months in rough terrain is a great event in the history of Uzbekistan," he said.
