  • Oim (from the 17th century) is found in a rural residential area about 4 km north of the center on Saifuloew Street, which branches off from Aini Street. The madrasa is one of the few Islamic schools in Central Asia founded by a woman. It contains separate areas for girls and boys with a number of individual rooms. In the Soviet era, the madrasa served as a prison from 1941, later as a farm camp and as a re-education center for boys. In 1996 the buildings were completely restored. The courtyard contains a landscaped garden. However, the facility is not used and is usually closed.

Cotton cultivation, which was intensive in monocultures during the Soviet period, led to environmental pollution with pesticides. Between 1973 and 1999, large quantities of obsolete and now banned pesticides were dumped without protection at a landfill 5 km (3.1 mi) south of the Konibodom urban area. The unguarded and unfenced pesticide storage facility near the landfill, which contains around 4,000 tons of DDT, lindane and other toxins, poses a potential environmental hazard because it is located a few kilometers from Syr Darya and the Ferghana Canal. If the wind direction is unfavorable, toxic dust can reach the city.
