According to the ministry, at around 1:00 p.m., rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations were carrying out preventive monitoring along the banks of the Bozsuv canal, which flows through the Sharq mahalla of Chirchik city, when they noticed a citizen drifting motionless in the water.

The rescuers immediately entered the water and brought the man to shore. First aid was provided at the scene to the man, who was unconscious. His condition is now said to be stable.
