What the agency refuted

The Road Traffic Safety Service responded to reports circulating on social media. They claimed that As Kun.uz reported, citing the agency's official statement, there are no legal grounds confirming these reports.

Context

An eco-sticker is a sign indicating a vehicle's environmental class; earlier in Uzbekistan, restrictions for cars without it were discussed, which sparked a wave of rumors about upcoming fines. In its statement, the service limited itself to refuting the specific reports: it did not clarify the current status of eco-stickers or what rules currently apply. The agency urged drivers to obtain road traffic safety information only from the official pages of authorized bodies; the statement itself was published on the service's official Telegram channel.
