A secret town during the Soviet Union because of the uranium mine present, these days no uranium is mined anymore and the town is known as a summer holiday resort for locals from Tashkent.[3] A couple of kilometers from the town there is a mineral water spring which is mainstream in the town and different urban areas.[4]
In 2021 preparations for the environmental remediation at the former mine, and also at Charkesar, started with the assistance of a €2 million grant from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.[5]
