According to reports, Dilmurod Rakhmatullaev was dismissed just a few days after being appointed to the new position.

The press service of the Andijan city mayor also confirmed Rakhmatullaev's dismissal to Kun.uz.

"Yes, he has indeed been dismissed. However, I do not know the reason," a representative of the press service told a Kun.uz journalist.

In June 2019, Dilmurod Rakhmatullaev faced sharp criticism during a video conference chaired by the regional governor. In August of the same year, he stated that a conspiracy was being orchestrated against him, condemning actions that, in his opinion, were damaging the reputation of the city and the region.
