Survival of Tashkent residents in anomalous cold without electricity and gas (photos)

It is not easy to survive in the anomalous cold that has been going on for almost 10 days. There is a shortage of energy resources throughout the country. Kun.uz was in the capital’s apartments without electricity and gas supply, and was interested in how people live without energy supply.

Uzhydromet reports that the daytime temperature will rise to 2 degrees in some regions from January 17, but it remains 10-17 degrees cold at night. During the severe winter, when the capital’s residents were in the vortex of power supply interruptions, and the temperature dropped to -20 degrees at night, it was almost impossible to survive.

Kun.uz talked to people living in Chilanzar district, who have been sitting without electricity for 24 hours.

Young children and the elderly suffer the most in frozen houses
To prevent the cold air from entering, the doors are covered with blankets, and the windows – with plastic “film” 

Most people with young children have moved to their relatives in areas with better energy supply, there also many people who took refuge in hotels in the anomalous cold.

Citizens who have not been able to move somewhere are reluctantly staying in their frozen houses and are finding their own ways to survive in the cold.
