On November 6, 2025, the latest environmental campaign, "Clean Thursday," took place in Shymkent's Turansky District. Residents of the city took part in the cleanup of their neighborhoods, public spaces, parks, playgrounds, and pedestrian walkways. The event was a continuation of the city's large-scale program to improve sanitary conditions and enhance environmental awareness. Participants note that such initiatives not only help maintain order but also engage residents in caring for their city, fostering a caring attitude toward the environment. Love for one's native land, responsibility for one's common home, and a willingness to contribute to improving the urban environment are the key values the organizers strive to convey to the public. From early morning, residents of apartment buildings, representatives of housing cooperatives, youth activists, utility workers, and concerned citizens took to the streets to make their neighborhood cleaner and more comfortable. They collected household trash, cleared dead branches, cleared curbs of dirt, swept sidewalks, mowed the grass, and added soil to uneven areas. Much attention was also paid to the condition of the playgrounds. Volunteers swept sand from the rubber surfaces, removed branches and leaves, wiped down hardscape elements, and renovated some fencing. Parents and children actively participated in the work: many expressed confidence that such events teach children from an early age to be environmentally responsible. According to the city administration, 45 environmental campaigns have already been held in Shymkent since the beginning of this year, with over four thousand people participating. This work is systematic: new locations requiring special attention in terms of sanitation and landscaping are selected every week. As a result of these efforts, the condition of courtyards, streets, and parks has noticeably improved. The organizers emphasize that the more people get involved in such initiatives, the faster and more effectively the city can be cleaned up. Furthermore, participation in the environmental movement helps foster a culture of environmentally friendly behavior—for example, choosing to separate waste, refraining from littering, and maintaining a tidy yard. Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the city branch of the Amanat party, noted the importance of not only physical cleanliness but also the spiritual responsibility of each resident: " Our main task is not just cleaning, but also encouraging residents and visitors to maintain cleanliness. Ecology isn't just about trash and streets. Cleanliness must be ecological, spiritual, and personal. This should be a priority for everyone, because a clean city begins with clean thoughts and deeds ," he emphasized. Many participants shared the opinion that regular cleanups help them feel a sense of belonging in the city's development. Together, people can accomplish much more—in a short period of time, they can remove what has been piling up for weeks. And it's especially gratifying to see the immediate results of their efforts: clean alleys, well-maintained courtyards, and neat lawns. Residents also note that working together brings neighbors closer together. People get to know each other, communicate, and share ideas for infrastructure development: where to place additional trash cans, what flowerbeds to plant in the spring, how to make the yard more comfortable and safe for children. " We shouldn't wait for someone to come and do everything for us. This is our city, and maintaining order in it is our shared responsibility ," shared one of the protesters. Municipal services support residents by providing the necessary equipment and vehicles for waste removal. Experts emphasize that if residents observe basic rules of cleanliness, the amount of waste on the streets will be significantly reduced. The main problem is waste dumped in inappropriate places, clogging courtyards, ditches, and roadsides. Environmental movements are calling on city residents to abandon single-use plastics, sort waste, and use official recycling bins. Proper waste management is not a temporary measure, but a long-term strategy essential to maintaining environmental well-being. Experts believe that for Shymkent to become a truly green and sustainable metropolis, all residents must actively participate in maintaining cleanliness and greenery. In recent years, the city has seen a significant increase in the number of public spaces—parks, squares, and pedestrian areas. But the more infrastructure there is, the greater the responsibility for its maintenance. The organizers of "Clean Thursday" emphasize that environmental awareness is not built on slogans, but on concrete actions. Every litter thrown past a bin and every piece of paper collected are steps in the opposite direction. Only a shared commitment to cleanliness will yield lasting results. The environmental campaign has concluded, but work to maintain order and improve the city continues daily. Participants expressed their willingness to join similar events again. New courtyards, new streets, and new areas await, all of which can be beautifully created with their own hands. The organizers invite all residents to join the upcoming events and become part of the greater effort to create a comfortable and clean city. After all, Shymkent is a home for all its residents, and caring for it should be everyone's personal responsibility.

The environmental event "Clean Thursday" aimed at protecting the environment continues in Shymkent. This time, the event was held on November 6 in the courtyards and pedestrian areas of multi-storey residential buildings in the Turan district. More than 30 residents, local organizations, and active youth participated in this event, contributing to the beautification of our city. The main goal of the campaign is to increase the environmental culture of residents, encourage them to keep public places clean, and draw public attention to environmental protection issues. During the event, participants not only collected garbage, but also carried out maintenance work on green spaces. According to the organizers, maintaining cleanliness is the duty of every citizen, not just the city administration. Therefore, such environmental initiatives help strengthen a sense of responsibility in society. Since the beginning of the year , more than 45 environmental campaigns have been held in Shymkent. About four thousand residents participated in these events. Concrete work has been carried out in many areas to improve the cleanliness of city streets, bus stops, yards, and children's playgrounds. According to ecologists, the increase in household waste in the metropolis is now becoming an urgent problem. As the population grows due to the development of the city, the burden on public utilities also increases. Therefore, the organization of eco-Saturdays and eco-Thursdays is an important step towards improving the environmental situation. One of the residents who participated in the action, Alikhan, said he was impressed by the activity of the young volunteers: "The city is our common home. If everyone keeps their yard clean, the whole of Shymkent will be clean. Such good events unite people." Children were also not left out of the action, helping adults collect garbage and clean up the yard. It is clear that this is an educational activity aimed at instilling in them respect for nature. The Shymkent branch of the AMANAT party also continues to support environmental initiatives. According to party representatives, cleanliness should not be limited to the external environment, but should be connected with spiritual purity within a person. Deputy Executive Secretary of the party branch, Yerbol Baikonysov, noted: "Our main task is not only to ensure cleanliness, but also to encourage residents and guests of the city to maintain it. Along with ecological cleanliness, spiritual and personal cleanliness is also important. This should be one of the priorities of every person." According to him, Shymkent can fully meet the status of a "clean metropolis" only if city residents make cleanliness a daily lifestyle. Environmentalists are calling on residents to strengthen the culture of cleanliness not only during the campaign, but also in everyday life. For example: Dispose of waste in designated areas Sorting plastic and paper Volunteering to help improve the yard Educating children about nature conservation By following these simple rules, you can significantly improve the ecology of the city. Thanks to the work carried out in recent months, in a number of areas: garbage containers have been updated Pedestrian paths cleared tree seedlings were planted Children's playgrounds have been arranged These are changes that directly affect the quality of life of city residents. Residents say that a clean yard allows children to play safely, people to walk, and lead a healthy lifestyle. According to the organizers' plan, the "Clean Thursday" campaign will continue on a regular basis. Every week, additional eco-weekends and sanitary cleaning will be held in different districts of Shymkent. In the future, it is also planned to hold seminars on environmental culture, eco-lessons for schoolchildren, and expand the volunteer movement. The Shymkent akimat and environmental organizations invite residents to be active and participate in upcoming events: "The cleanliness of the city is in everyone's hands!" The "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign in Shymkent unites city residents in a common goal - to protect their native land. The enthusiasm and activity of residents directly contribute to the improvement of the city's appearance. Such initiatives not only protect the environment, but also strengthen unity, responsibility, and patriotism in society. Every step towards cleanliness is an important step towards leaving a bright future for the younger generation.

On November 4, a video filmed in Shymkent's arboretum circulated on social media. The author claims that after heavy rainfall, the area was flooded, a foul odor permeated the entire area, unsanitary conditions developed, and it became virtually impossible to navigate the park. Internet users actively discussed the footage, expressing concern about the state of one of the city's most beloved recreation areas. Many commenters speculated that the video captured sewage runoff that had leaked onto the surface due to a faulty system. This sparked a public outcry, as the arboretum is not only a recreational area but also a nature conservation site, home to numerous rare plants, birds, and small animals. In response to the criticism, city authorities issued an official explanation. According to the Akimat, the incident was caused by heavy rain on the night of November 3rd to 4th, which temporarily reduced the capacity of the 500mm diameter sewer collector on Tolebaeva (Tolemetova) Street. Due to the blockage, some rainwater was unable to drain through the system and began to accumulate near the roadway, including the outlet toward the arboretum. "The incident was reported at approximately 12:25 AM, and an emergency team from the State Utility Company "Su Kubyry Zhane Kanalizatsiya Baskarmasy" (Water Supply and Sanitation) arrived at the scene by 1:00 AM. As a result of these efforts, the blockage was completely cleared by 3:30 AM. The system is currently operating normally, and there is no risk of a recurrence," the department reported. The Akimat emphasized that this was accumulated rainwater, not pure wastewater discharge. However, specialists immediately began sanitizing the area to prevent unpleasant odors and potential sanitary risks. However, the stormwater runoff incident was only part of the debate surrounding the arboretum's condition. A wave of criticism had previously spread on social media against local authorities over construction work within the park's green space. Residents expressed concerns that a significant portion of the park's land had allegedly been allocated for development, and that trees were being cut down en masse. Some users claimed that investors intend to convert the natural area into commercial space, gradually reducing the green space. Comments even predicted the possible disappearance of the arboretum in the future if construction expands. To ease tensions and prevent the spread of false information, the Akimat issued a clarification. City administration representatives assured that construction is being carried out strictly within the approved project, which had been agreed upon with environmentalists and public organizations. "The construction of a lightweight library and a Chess Players' Club is planned on the arboretum's grounds. The projects are being implemented through private investment, and the land will remain municipal property and will not be transferred to the investor," the Akimat emphasized. According to officials, the buildings will have a minimal impact on the landscape and natural environment. The main concept is to create additional cultural and sports facilities for family recreation. It is also noted that the construction is aimed at developing the public space, not commercializing it. Furthermore, the major construction company BI Group has expressed a desire to build a modern playground with a safe surface and multifunctional areas for children of all ages within the arboretum. This work is also planned to be carried out without damaging the existing vegetation or expanding the existing area. "Not a single tree will be cut down. All design decisions include the preservation of green spaces, as well as new landscaping," the department clarified. Nevertheless, some residents remain wary. Activists advocating for the preservation of green spaces note that any changes to the arboretum should be carried out with maximum transparency, with due regard for public opinion. They propose regularly publishing progress reports and holding meetings with representatives of environmental organizations and residents of adjacent areas. Environmentalists also point out that the arboretum has significant environmental significance: it acts as the city's "green lungs," absorbing pollutants and mitigating the city's climate. Therefore, any construction changes must be strictly limited and carefully monitored. The Akimat, for its part, expresses its readiness for open dialogue. Authorities state that work to modernize the arboretum's infrastructure will continue, but only in compliance with all environmental requirements and regulations. The main goal, according to officials, is to make the park more convenient, modern, and safe for all visitors, without compromising its unique natural beauty. The temporary flooding after the rains demonstrated that the drainage system requires further strengthening, especially given increasing precipitation and the growing strain on utilities. The Akimat assured that such incidents will be thoroughly analyzed to prevent them in the future. Thus, the arboretum is truly a hot topic of discussion, reflecting the area's high importance to city residents. People care, and this is a positive sign. It's important that the development of public spaces be transparent, and that improvements be accompanied by reliable guarantees for environmental conservation. The arboretum remains a symbol of Shymkent, and every step in its renovation must be undertaken with the utmost responsibility.

On November 4, a video shot in the Shymkent Arboretum went viral on social media. According to the author, after heavy rains, water accumulated in the park, an unpleasant odor spread, sanitary conditions deteriorated, and it became impossible to walk. The video caused great concern among residents, as the Arboretum is one of the main recreation areas in the city, a natural area and an object of great ecological importance. According to many, the footage shows sewage mixed with rainwater. Some citizens speculated that the problem was related to a malfunction of the sewage system. Many critical comments were written on social networks regarding this situation, demanding an explanation from the responsible authorities. The city administration has released official information on this issue. According to the akimat, on the night of November 3 to 4, heavy rain fell in Shymkent. As a result, the capacity of the sewer collector with a diameter of 500 mm along Tolebayev (Tolemetov) Street temporarily decreased. As a result, excess rainwater did not drain quickly and accumulated on the street and in the area near the park. — "The first report of the incident was received at around 00:25. At 01:00, the emergency crew of the Water Supply and Sewerage Department arrived at the scene. As a result of the urgent work, the blockages in the collector were completely cleared by 03:30. Currently, the system is operating normally," the department said in a statement. The akimat emphasized that this is a collection of rainwater, and that the information about clean sewage is not true. In addition, special treatment works have been carried out on the territory to prevent unpleasant odors and sanitary hazards. However, the controversy surrounding the arboretum is not limited to this. Previously, social media was also heatedly discussing the construction work underway in the park. City residents expressed concern that a large part of the arboretum would be given over to construction, reducing the green space. Some netizens have speculated that land will be given to private companies and commercial facilities will be built there. There have even been speculations that "trees are being cut down en masse." In response, the akimat provided another explanation. According to official information, the facilities being built on the territory of the arboretum are intended entirely for public purposes. — "A lightweight library and a Chess House are being built in the arboretum. The project is being implemented at the expense of the investor. The land plot will not be transferred to private ownership, the park will remain in communal ownership," the akimat's message states. In addition, BI Group intends to install a modern children's playground in order to develop the recreation area. It was stated that all work will be carried out in compliance with environmental requirements. — "No trees are planned to be cut down during the implementation of the projects. Reforestation measures are also envisaged," the experts added. Local environmental activists and residents are demanding that any changes in this direction be carried out transparently. They are asking for regular reporting on the progress of construction work, materials used, and environmental impact. Because the arboretum is the "green heart" of the city, one of the most important areas for improving the city's ecology. Preserving the clean air of the Arboretum and the unique plant species is in the common interest of not only the akimat, but also all the city's residents. Therefore, eco-activists propose holding public hearings, through which all changes can be monitored together. The Akimat has expressed its openness to these proposals. According to Akimat representatives, work on modernizing the park's infrastructure will continue, but the main priority will always be to preserve its natural beauty. The situation after the rains has shown the need for further improvement of the sewer and stormwater systems. As the city's population and the number of cars increase, the load on engineering networks also increases. The akimat said that such issues are taken into account in advance and will be monitored. In conclusion, the discussions around the arboretum show that society is not indifferent. Shymkent residents are very interested in protecting the city's green spaces. This is a gratifying situation. And an open dialogue between the authorities and society, a clear plan and compliance with environmental standards are the key to the future of the park. The arboretum is a symbol, spiritual breath, and natural wealth of Shymkent. Therefore, its development must be carried out responsibly at every step.

In Shymkent, enforcement of environmental compliance by businesses located in the city's industrial zones is being stepped up. Numerous complaints from residents regarding deteriorating air quality, the emergence of pungent odors, and increased pollutant emissions have prompted authorities and environmental services to conduct unscheduled inspections. The monitoring results revealed that not all businesses are complying with current standards and legal requirements. According to the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial-Innovative Development, there are seven industrial zones operating in Shymkent: "Ontustik," "Ordabasy," "Tassay," "Zhuldyz," "Kaynar," "Standart," and "Industrial Park." Their combined area is 1,276 hectares , and the number of enterprises located within them reaches 312 , providing employment to over 8,000 people . These zones are important centers of economic growth, but their activities often raise concerns among the public due to their negative impact on the environment. Residents of neighborhoods adjacent to industrial areas have been actively contacting the Department of Ecology in recent months, complaining about deteriorating air quality, dust, and emissions from factories. Complaints have been particularly frequent at plants located in the Ontustik and Ordabasy industrial zones, where there is a high concentration of metallurgical, chemical, and processing industries. " During the monitoring, businesses were identified violating environmental standards. Inspections were conducted jointly with the Department of Ecology, orders were issued, and fines were imposed," the Department of Entrepreneurship reported. Statistics show that these violations are not isolated. While 34 administrative cases were initiated in the first half of this year, with fines totaling 23.5 million tenge , 50 administrative cases have already been initiated. The total amount of fines imposed has exceeded 37.6 million tenge , of which 32.6 million tenge have been transferred to the state budget . Acting Head of the Department of Ecology Sabyr Balybek clarified that as a result of the inspections: • 29 orders to eliminate violations were issued; • 12 large enterprises were inspected, including: – High Industrial Lubricants & Liquids Corporation – China-Kazakhstan Manganese Industrial Group – ColorLit – Element 5 – EcoTire – Category DM - Alaman Bereke – ENN – Hermes-B.E. – IP “Habibullah” – TRM – VegaSmelting Despite the issued orders, four businesses ignored the demands to correct the violations. Administrative protocols were filed against them under Article 462, Part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan— "Failure to comply with orders of authorized bodies." "The specialized inter-district court imposed fines and suspended the companies' operations for various periods ," the department clarified. Furthermore, instances of operating without an environmental permit were identified, which qualifies as a violation of Article 328, Part 4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan . Fines and suspensions were also imposed for these incidents. Environmentalists note that the problem is complex and affects more than just the atmosphere. In Shymkent's water bodies , exceedances of permissible concentrations of a number of pollutants have been recorded. The following are considered the most problematic: • rivers Koshkarata , Karasu , Badam , Sairamsu • channels Kos-diermen , Togys , Tekesu , BMK Periodic measurements show the presence of petroleum products, heavy metals, and inadequately treated household wastewater in the water. Experts emphasize that further deterioration of the situation could threaten public health. The condition of the Koshkarata River is a particular cause for concern. During the warmer months, it is one of the city's most popular recreation areas, but the growing number of visitors has led to an increase in litter. Volunteer groups regularly organize cleanup days on the riverbanks, but the problem persists because some visitors fail to observe basic cleanliness rules . Local residents are demanding not only fines but also systemic measures to modernize wastewater treatment facilities, improve emissions controls, and tighten industrial licensing. Environmental activists are pushing for the implementation of automated air quality monitoring stations that will make data publicly available. Meanwhile, the Department of Ecology assures that inspections are not complete, and businesses that violate regulations face more severe sanctions, including complete closure . "We intend to consistently enforce environmental legislation. The city's ecology is the health of its residents, and we will not allow the situation to worsen," the department emphasized. The situation in industrial zones remains under close scrutiny by authorities, community activists, and residents. Improving air quality and water resources in Shymkent is becoming a highly discussed issue, as the city's industrial development must not compromise the environment or public safety.

In recent years, industrial zones have been developing rapidly in Shymkent. Currently, there are 7 industrial zones in the metropolis with a total area of 1,276 hectares. These zones employ 312 enterprises, employing more than 8,000 people. Most of them are giving impetus to the city's economy and increasing production volumes. However, along with the growth in production volumes, environmental problems are also becoming more common. City residents have recently been complaining about a sharp decline in air quality near industrial zones. In particular, residents of the Ontustik and Ordabasy industrial zones have drawn attention to problems such as the appearance of various odors, increased smoke, and the spread of dust into the air. They say that some enterprises do not comply with environmental standards and are harming the environment. In this regard, the city's Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial and Innovative Development and the Department of Ecology jointly conducted unscheduled inspections. As a result of the inspection, numerous violations were identified. According to the department, since the beginning of the year, 34 administrative cases have been initiated, with fines totaling 23.5 million tenge. The number of administrative cases initiated has already reached 50, with fines exceeding 37.6 million tenge. Of these, 32.6 million went to state revenue. According to Sabyr Balybek, acting head of the Department of Ecology, the inspection revealed violations of environmental requirements at 12 large enterprises. These are companies such as High Industrial Lubricants & Liquids Corporation, China-Kazakhstan Manganese Industrial Group, TsvetLit, Element 5, EcoShina, Category DM, Alaman Bereke, ENN, Hermes-B.E., individual entrepreneurs Habibulla, TRM, and VegaSmelting. — "As a result of the inspection, 29 instructions were issued to enterprises. However, a number of companies did not comply with the instructions in a timely manner. As a result, a protocol was drawn up for 4 enterprises under Part 3 of Article 462 of the Administrative Code. The specialized court banned their work for various periods," said the department representative. In addition, enterprises found to be operating without an environmental permit were fined under Part 4 of Article 328 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses and their operations were also temporarily suspended. Environmentalists are concerned not only about the air, but also about the state of the city's water resources. It has been found that the Koshkarata, Karasu, Badam, and Sairamsu rivers that flow through Shymkent, as well as the Kos-Diermen, Togis, Tekesu, and BMC canals, exceed the permissible levels of pollutants. Experts say that this is due not only to the uncontrolled discharge of industrial waste, but also to household waste. One of the city's most popular recreational areas, the Koshkarata River, has also been getting increasingly polluted in recent years. During the summer season, the number of bathers increases, and the garbage left by vacationers is not collected. Despite the fact that environmental volunteers themselves are involved in cleaning, the number of violators continues to grow. — "Many residents do not observe cleanliness standards when relaxing on the banks of the river. They do not throw garbage in designated places, which harms the environment. Even though we constantly clean up recreation areas, the problem remains unresolved," say environmental activists. There are also many unauthorized garbage dumps in the city. Although environmentalists are working to reduce their number, the irresponsibility of some citizens is complicating the situation. The Shymkent City Administration and the Department of Ecology are taking new measures to address these issues. These include: Strict control of industrial sites Systematic explanation of environmental requirements Improving the waste management system Strengthening environmental monitoring Organizing joint Sabbaths with the public Experts say that the efforts of government agencies alone are not enough to protect the environment. Preventing environmental pollution is the responsibility of every citizen and every enterprise. Environmentalists urge residents to take an active civic stance. If violations are observed, it is recommended to notify special services. The development of industry is the main driver of economic growth. But this development should not harm nature. The situation in Shymkent is a vivid example of how important it is to preserve the environment. Everyone must contribute to the future of the city. Clean air, clean water, and a safe environment are common values for all residents.

On November 6, 2025, Acting Akim of the Abay District, Zhandos Sadyrkhanov, conducted a working visit to the Severo-Zapadny Microdistrict, located in the district. During the visit, he met with residents along Naizaly Street, a stretch of road where large amounts of water regularly accumulate during heavy rains, posing a risk of flooding. The purpose of this visit was to promptly address issues critical to the safety and well-being of the residents. Local residents have repeatedly complained that during heavy rainfall, rainwater is unable to drain through irrigation ditches and wells, resulting in accumulation on roadways and in the yards of private homes. In some cases, water has reached right up to building foundations, causing anxiety and threatening damage to personal property. At the meeting, residents actively raised concerns: inoperative or inadequate drainage channels, the need to strengthen the existing dam, and expand the drainage system to prevent backflow. They particularly emphasized that with the onset of winter and spring, precipitation in the region increases significantly, making prompt and systematic action crucial. Zhandos Sadyrkhanov noted that public safety is the local authorities' top priority. He emphasized that the public's complaints have already been reviewed, and utility service specialists have analyzed the site's condition. A list of engineering solutions has now been identified that will improve the irrigation canal's capacity and strengthen the protective structure. The acting akim announced that work will be carried out in this area using specialized equipment before the start of the next heavy rainfall season: • strengthening the dam to prevent its erosion; • cleaning and deepening channels for free drainage of water; • restoration and expansion of drainage wells where necessary; • regulation of the direction of rainwater flow to eliminate stagnant zones. According to him, the district administration is closely monitoring the implementation of all planned measures. The work will be completed as quickly as possible to prevent a recurrence of problems during the upcoming rainy season. He also added that the relevant services have been instructed to maintain constant contact with residents and respond immediately to requests should the situation worsen. Child safety was also a key topic of discussion. Parents reported that after rain, schoolchildren have difficulty walking on the street due to deep puddles. Sadyrkhanov therefore instructed that additional measures be considered to ensure a convenient and safe route for schoolchildren, including localized soil fill and temporary solutions until the main work is completed. During the meeting, district administration representatives held an explanatory talk regarding the need to maintain sanitary regulations. It was noted that some blockages are caused by household waste that some residents dispose of in irrigation ditches. The diligent work of public utilities will not yield long-term results without the participation and responsibility of local residents. Therefore, everyone must follow the rules and prevent clogging of drainage systems. Residents expressed gratitude for having their concerns heard. They noted the importance of such communication, as direct dialogue with district leadership helps them receive answers to pressing questions and see tangible steps taken to improve infrastructure. Many hope that the planned measures will completely eliminate the risk of flooding, making the area more comfortable and safe to live in. In his closing remarks, Sadyrkhanov noted: "We work with the public and for the public. Every issue must be resolved promptly and efficiently. Today, we heard your proposals and see viable solutions. All planned activities will be implemented with the interests of residents in mind. If additional challenges arise, we will work together to find a way to overcome them." Such meetings help build trust between the public and government authorities, promptly identify existing infrastructure shortcomings, and improve the effectiveness of decision-making. Work in this area will continue, and the district administration intends to consistently address all outstanding issues. In conclusion, the field visit and meeting with residents of the North-West microdistrict is an important step toward ensuring comfortable and safe living conditions. Teamwork, combining the efforts of local authorities and residents, is key to the successful development of the district. All current and planned activities continue to be under the constant supervision of the Abay District Akim's Office, and their results will be communicated to the public in due course.

On November 6, 2025, the acting akim of Abay district, Zhandos Sadyrkhanov, visited the North-West microdistrict in the district and held a meeting with local residents in an area where rainwater often accumulates along Naizaly Street. This meeting is part of a regular working trip organized to ensure the safety of residents and resolve infrastructure issues. In recent years, this area has been experiencing frequent flooding during rainfall, causing concern among residents. Especially during heavy rains, there have been cases where the water level has risen sharply and reached the courtyards of private homes. The need to urgently take appropriate measures to prevent such a threat is being emphasized. During the meeting, residents openly expressed their suggestions. They spoke about the blockage of the rainwater drainage system in some areas, the malfunctioning of culverts, and the weakness of the dam. The main issue raised by residents was the need to strengthen the dangerous areas where rainwater flows back and accumulates on the streets and in the courtyards of houses. Zh. Sadyrkhanov listened carefully to the residents and noted that all the issues raised were taken into account. According to him, a special engineering study was conducted on the areas where water accumulates due to heavy rains. According to the results, work is planned to strengthen the dam, expand the drainage system, and regulate the direction of water flow in the area. He said in his speech: – “The safety of the population is our main task. Every issue raised by residents will not go unnoticed. The modernization of water supply systems in this area and the strengthening of the dam will be completed before the upcoming rainy season ,” he said clearly. Special instructions have been given to the relevant municipal institutions. The contracting organizations will mobilize equipment and in the near future begin work on strengthening the dam and deepening the water channels. During the implementation of these works, the natural relief features will be taken into account and the water catchment areas will be recalculated. It is also planned to organize a 24-hour duty to respond promptly during rainfall. It was noted that prevention of emergencies is important to avoid subsequent consequences. Residents expressed their gratitude for the support provided by the akimat and expressed hope for the timely and high-quality implementation of the work. The most important thing for them is the safety of their homes and children. Therefore, the meeting also discussed the difficulties that children encounter on their way to school. It was noted that sometimes after rain, the streets are flooded, making it difficult for children to walk. It was explained that the responsible specialists were given instructions on this issue and that measures would be taken to ensure safe movement. During the meeting, information and explanatory work was also carried out. It was noted that it is important to maintain sanitary conditions with local residents, not to clog drains with household waste, and to establish cooperation with utilities. It was noted that each citizen's responsible attitude to the environment will significantly contribute to flood prevention. The district administration reported that the deadlines for resolving these issues have been clearly set. It was also emphasized that all work will be under constant control of the Abay district akim's office. During the implementation of the planned measures, feedback from residents will be provided at each stage, and information will be provided. Zh. Sadyrkhanov: – “We work together with the people. The proposals of the population are the main direction of our work. The issues raised today will find concrete solutions. If any difficulties arise, we will overcome them together ,” he concluded. Such meetings help strengthen ties between the authorities and the people, identify urgent issues in a timely manner, and make effective decisions. Residents of the North-West microdistrict are confident that as a result of this visit, the situation in dangerous areas will soon improve. In conclusion, this meeting, which took place on November 6, is an example of a constructive dialogue between the district administration and residents. In the future, work will continue in stages to increase infrastructure safety and improve stormwater prevention systems. The main goal is to create the necessary conditions for residents to live comfortably and ensure that everyone has a carefree life.

On November 6, 2025, large-scale work to clean and restore irrigation ditch systems began across the city's districts. The primary goal of this project is to prevent flooding during the autumn and winter, when precipitation increases significantly and the risk of water pooling in streets and courtyards increases. Municipal services, district akimats, and contractors are working together to clear the ditch of debris and silt, repair damaged sections, and ensure the full functioning of drainage channels. Irrigation ditches are an important part of a city's utility infrastructure. Their maintenance directly impacts the sanitary condition of streets, the comfort and safety of residents, and the stability of the road surface. Accumulating water can lead to asphalt deterioration, the formation of potholes, difficulties for pedestrians and vehicles, and, during heavy rainfall, even localized flooding. Therefore, timely cleaning of ditches plays a key role in ensuring the stable functioning of the urban environment. The work is being carried out according to a pre-approved schedule and is divided into several stages. First, specialists began cleaning the areas with the highest levels of debris and poor drainage capacity. Excavators, trucks, and several crews are on site. The collected waste is being transported to designated landfills, and the irrigation ditch beds are being cleared of silt, branches, and fallen leaves. Utility specialists note that the main cause of clogging remains household waste, which some residents dispose of directly into the ditches. Furthermore, construction debris from renovations often ends up in the system. This is why, in parallel with cleaning, they conduct preventative public awareness campaigns, reminding residents of the importance of observing sanitary standards and caring for the city's infrastructure. The work covers not only the main streets but also the inner-city roads where water often stagnates after rains. Water intake grates are being cleaned, damaged components are being replaced, and the concrete foundations of the canals are being repaired. In areas where the ditch walls are at risk of collapse, the structure is being reinforced and the correct slope is being restored to ensure unimpeded water drainage. Residents of the area are positive about the ongoing initiatives, as they directly improve their quality of life. In recent years, drainage issues have been raised repeatedly—heavy rainfall has led to the formation of large puddles, making travel difficult and causing discomfort. Therefore, most residents express support for the well-organized work and, where possible, assist utility services by cleaning the areas around their yards. According to district authorities, the entire drainage system will be inspected in the coming days. Repairs are being carried out immediately at sites where improvements can be made quickly. Where reconstruction or modernization is necessary, design solutions are already being developed, with plans for larger-scale projects to be implemented as funding becomes available. New technical solutions are planned for the future, including digital monitoring of irrigation ditches and the installation of water level sensors, which will allow for prompt response to potential blockages and flooding threats. Furthermore, plans include a comprehensive upgrade of irrigation networks, particularly in areas where they have not been repaired for a long time. Municipal authorities emphasize that sanitation is the key to safety. Even with regular and conscientious work by utility workers, street cleanliness largely depends on the residents themselves. A responsible attitude toward the environment is an important element of the city's ecosystem. If everyone takes the initiative and prevents littering ditches, the risk of flooding will be significantly reduced. Utility workers, in turn, are obligated to maintain the system in good condition, regularly inspect drainage channels, and be prepared for any weather conditions. Early prevention, as we know, helps avoid significant financial costs associated with emergency response in the future. In summary, the work to clear all streets of debris from irrigation ditches, which began on November 6, is an important step toward ensuring a comfortable and safe urban environment. This is not a one-time measure, but part of a long-term strategy to improve infrastructure and protect the city from natural hazards. Clean irrigation ditches are the key to a well-functioning drainage system, preventing puddles and water accumulation on the streets, and therefore ensuring comfort and peace of mind for residents. Maintaining these results is only possible through joint efforts: municipal services provide the technical support, and residents help maintain the water every day. The city is our shared home. And the cleaner we keep it, the more reliably it will protect us from the vagaries of nature and create better living conditions.

On November 6, 2025, large-scale work began on cleaning and updating irrigation ditch systems in the city's district. This initiative is primarily aimed at preventing water from flowing onto the streets due to the increased amount of precipitation in the autumn-winter season. In this regard, municipal service specialists, the district akimat, and contracting organizations are systematically carrying out work to remove garbage, clean silt, and repair unusable parts of drainage ditches located on all streets. Irrigation systems in the district are one of the most important engineering networks for the safety of residents and the stability of the city's infrastructure. This is because preventing floods, regulating groundwater levels, and preventing streets and yards from turning into swamps directly depend on the proper functioning of these ditches. Therefore, the work being carried out is not just a seasonal measure, but an important step towards ensuring long-term environmental and sanitary safety. According to representatives of the utility industry, the cleaning work is divided into several stages in accordance with a pre-prepared plan. First, dangerous areas with low water permeability and accumulated dirt were identified, and special equipment was deployed in those areas. Excavators, trucks and manual workers are working in several directions at the same time. The collected garbage is taken to special landfills, and the unhindered drainage of the ditches is ensured. Irrigation ditches are often clogged with household waste, broken branches, fallen leaves, and improperly disposed construction debris. Therefore, specialists are also conducting explanatory work with residents to prevent environmental pollution and not use ditches as a place to dump household waste. The district akimat notes that high public responsibility in this direction will significantly reduce the risk of flooding. Cleaning work is not limited to central streets, but also includes courtyards and small streets that may cause inconvenience to residents. Water intake grilles located along the ditches are replaced, wells are also cleaned. If necessary, concrete elements are restored, and unsuitable areas are completely renovated. All this is done to maintain a uniform flow of water and prevent water from flowing back. Residents of the district are confident that this measure will have a positive impact on their quality of life. In recent years, the problem of puddles and water accumulation along the streets during heavy rains in some regions has been raised several times. Therefore, the start of cleaning work has received public support. Residents are helping utility specialists and are doing their best to clean the ditches near their homes from garbage. According to the responsible authorities, the complete cleaning of the water supply systems will take several days. It is important to pay attention to each street and carry out the work in a planned manner, taking into account territorial features. In addition, cleaning work will be repeated every season in order to maintain the sanitary cleanliness of the city. This is only part of the comprehensive improvement of the infrastructure. In the future, projects are also being considered to digitize the drainage system, install special sensors to monitor water flow, and gradually upgrade the irrigation networks. The district akimat calls on city residents to maintain a sanitary culture. Each person's concern for the environment directly affects the appearance of the city. If each resident responsibly takes care of the cleanliness of their yard and street, the damage from natural disasters will be significantly reduced. Therefore, tidying up the house and throwing garbage in special places is a common task. The Public Utilities Department, on the other hand, is committed to constantly monitoring the cleanliness of the ditches and being prepared for any weather. Emergency preparedness is an integral part of ensuring public safety. Especially in seasons with a high risk of flooding, preventive measures can prevent large losses later. In summary, the work on cleaning the irrigation ditch systems on all streets, which began on November 6, is an important measure aimed at ensuring the comfortable life and safety of city residents. This is a common responsibility not only of municipal services, but also of the entire population. Keeping the city clean and maintaining the infrastructure is a good deed for every resident. It is certain that work in this direction will continue in the future, and the sanitary condition of the district will steadily improve. A conscious society is a clean city. And clean drains are a guarantee of safe streets and a comfortable life.

On November 5, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" ("Taza beysenbi") environmental campaign continued in Shymkent's Turansky District. The event aimed to draw residents' attention to environmental protection issues, foster environmental awareness, maintain cleanliness in their neighborhoods, and improve public spaces. The campaign was another step in the city's systematic efforts to improve its environmental conditions and foster a sense of responsibility among residents for cleanliness. The cleanup day took place in the courtyard of an apartment building on Adyrbekova Street. More than 30 people participated, including students, teachers, activists, and local residents. The organizers provided all participants with the necessary equipment—rakes, shovels, brooms, garbage bags, and gloves. The work was carried out systematically: one group cleaned the area, another cleared ditches and canals, and a third collected and sorted the trash. Participants cleared ditches and drains of debris, sediment, and foreign objects, ensuring free flow of water and preventing potential flooding. Lawns and flower beds were tidied up, removing dry grass, debris, and plant debris. This not only improved the aesthetics of the courtyard but also created a comfortable and safe environment for residents, especially children and the elderly. Young people and students noted that participating in the campaign not only allowed them to make a concrete contribution to the city's improvement but also developed a sense of collective responsibility. Working together outdoors develops teamwork skills, teaches them to delegate responsibilities, plan actions, and see the results of their efforts. Every visible result—a clean yard, well-maintained lawns, cleared ditches—becomes a motivator for further action. Yerbol Baikonysov, deputy executive secretary of the city branch of the Amanat party, took part in the event and addressed the city's residents: "We urge Shymkent residents to take care of the city's cleanliness. After all, cleanliness is the key to health. Therefore, we must systematically implement such events to make Shymkent a truly green city. When our surroundings are clean, we become cleaner spiritually and environmentally, and only then can we talk about building a true nation," he emphasized. It's worth noting that these cleanup days have been held regularly in Shymkent since the beginning of 2025. As of early November, 43 such events had already been organized. As a result of these events, approximately 40 tons of waste were removed from the city's courtyards, streets, and ditches. More than 3,000 city residents participated, making a significant contribution to improving the urban environment through their efforts. Particular attention was paid to the educational aspect of the event. By participating in the cleanup, students and young people learn the skills of sorting and properly disposing of waste, learning to care for green spaces, and being environmentally responsible. Such events instill in young people the habit of maintaining order and practicing environmental responsibility in their daily lives. Participants noted that working on the cleanup day brings moral satisfaction. The visible results of their labor—clean yards, manicured lawns, cleared ditches—inspire new efforts and create a sense of personal contribution to the city's improvement. Importantly, the event brings together people of different ages and backgrounds: students, schoolchildren, retirees, activists, and local residents work together, share experiences, learn to collaborate, and help each other. The event's organizers also conducted outreach activities. Participants learned about waste sorting, recycling, and green space maintenance. Students had the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice by cleaning ditches, removing trash, and maintaining lawns. This helps foster a sustainable environmental culture and a conscious attitude toward the environment among young people. According to one of the cleanup participants, a college student: "We cleaned up our courtyard and the surrounding areas. Keeping our surroundings clean is our contribution to the city's future. If everyone maintains order, our city will become beautiful, cozy, and safe. It's gratifying to see the results of our work and know that we're doing something important for all residents," she shared. The "Clean Thursday" campaign in Shymkent demonstrates that even small efforts from each individual can lead to significant results. Teamwork, attention to cleanliness, and the care of green spaces make the city cozy, attractive, and comfortable for all residents. Thus, on November 5, 2025, more than 30 areas in Shymkent's Turansky District were cleaned, a significant amount of trash was collected, and lawns, ditches, and flower beds were tidied up as part of the "Taza Beysenbi" (Cleaning the City) campaign. Such events raise the level of environmental awareness among city residents, foster the habit of caring for the city, unite residents of different generations, and promote civic responsibility. The organizers noted that such events need to be held on a regular basis to keep the city clean and tidy. Regular cleanup days foster a strong habit of cleanliness among residents and also instill in young people a sense of responsibility for public spaces. The event not only improved the appearance of the courtyard and streets, but also strengthened the sense of community among participants, developed environmental awareness, and increased citizen interest in preserving natural and urban spaces. Thus, the November 5, 2025, event became another successful example of how the combined efforts of residents, students, activists, and authorities contribute to the improvement of the city, the development of an environmental culture, and the care of green spaces. Over the course of the year, similar events were organized 43 times, approximately 40 tons of waste were removed from the city, and over 3,000 people participated. This confirms that joint efforts by city residents can make Shymkent a clean, comfortable, and green city.

On November 5, 2025, the “Clean Thursday” environmental campaign continued in the Turan district of Shymkent. This event was organized to educate the city's residents in environmental culture, keep the environment clean, and preserve greenery. It was held in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building on Senbilik Adyrbekov Street. More than 30 citizens participated in the event. They were provided with special equipment, and each participant did their part, cleaning and tidying up the yard and the surrounding area. Participants cleaned the ditches, mowed the grass, swept the yard, and tidied up the general area. They also collected garbage and put it in special bags. During the cleaning, special attention was paid to greenery, flower beds, and trees. Such work contributes to the proper growth of greenery and helps keep the air clean. According to the participants, each cleaned area is a concrete step towards a more comfortable life for residents. Such cleaning operations have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year. During this time, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed from the city. This high figure indicates the residents' inclination towards environmental culture, their contribution to making the city clean and beautiful. In total, more than 3 thousand citizens participated in the mentioned actions and voluntarily took care of the environment. During the weekend, college students, schoolchildren, volunteers, and residents of the district worked together. They cleaned yards, ditches, lawns, and flower beds. They also cleaned irrigation systems and ditches of debris and prevented waterways from becoming blocked. These measures regulated the flow of water and created conditions for the growth of greenery. Yerbol Baikonysov, deputy executive secretary of the Shymkent city branch of the Amanat party, participated in the action and addressed the residents. He said: "We call on the residents of Shymkent to maintain cleanliness. After all, cleanliness is the key to health. Therefore, we must do this systematically in order to turn Shymkent into a green city. If everything is clean, we will always be spiritually and ecologically clean. Only then will we become a real nation." According to the participants, participation in the Sabbath is not limited to cleaning the yard and street. It is an opportunity for people to interact with each other, understand their role in society, and set an example for the younger generation. Students and young people, seeing the results of their own hands, absorb the responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of the city. Such events increase people's love for their region. As a result of the work of the participants of the Sabbath, not only the yards and streets were cleaned, but also the environment was made more attractive and comfortable. Lawns and flower beds were cleaned of debris, ditches and waterways were put in order. These works will allow the city's residents to live comfortably, especially ensuring safety and cleanliness for children and the elderly. During the campaign, the organizers also held environmental education and training events. Participants in the cleanup were given advice on proper garbage sorting, waste recycling, and green space maintenance. Students learned these skills in a hands-on manner. They participated in garbage collection, ditch cleaning, and green space maintenance, thereby instilling a culture of environmental protection. One of the participants of the Saturday clean-up, a female student, commented: "I participated in cleaning my yard and contributed to the cleanliness of the city with my own hands. It's a wonderful feeling. Each person's own actions are important for the city. If we all keep our yards and streets clean, Shymkent will become a truly green city." Another important result of the Sabbath is the increase in environmental culture among residents. When young people and adults work together, a sense of cooperation, responsibility, and love for society is formed. These events not only increase environmental responsibility, but also contribute to the beautification of the city. The Shymkent city administration and the Turan district administration supported the campaign and expressed their gratitude to the participants. They called on residents to be active, protect the environment, and make the city clean and attractive. In addition, the akimat noted the need to maintain the cleanliness of the city by regularly holding environmental clean-ups. In conclusion, the "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign on November 5 is a clear demonstration of the active participation of Shymkent residents in protecting the environment. Participants of the campaign cleaned their yards, ditches, lawns, collected waste, and put the territory in order. As a result of such events, which have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year, about 40 tons of garbage were removed, and more than 3 thousand people took part. This campaign is not just a garbage collection, it is an important event aimed at forming an ecological culture among young people and adults, making the city more attractive, and protecting nature. It is expected that such cleanups will be held regularly in the future, so that the city area remains clean, green, and comfortable.

On November 1, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" (Taza Beysenbi) environmental campaign continued in Shymkent's Turansky District. This large-scale cleanup event was aimed at maintaining cleanliness in the city, fostering environmental awareness among residents, especially young people, and improving neighborhoods and public spaces. The cleanup day took place in the courtyard of an apartment building on Adyrbekova Street. More than 30 people participated in the event, including college students, teachers, activists, and local residents. They all came together to tidy up the area, clear out ditches and canals, mow the grass, remove trash, and make the courtyard and surrounding areas look neat and tidy. The event organizers emphasized that such cleanup days have not only practical benefits but also educational value. They foster a sense of responsibility for a clean environment and a love for their hometown among residents and young people. Each participant sees the direct results of their efforts—clean yards, tidy lawns, and trash-free ditches. This is a clear example of how the joint efforts of citizens can transform urban spaces. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for the cleanup: rakes, shovels, brooms, trash bags, and gloves. The work was organized into pre-determined sections: one group was responsible for clearing the ditches, another for cleaning the yard and lawns, and a third for sorting and collecting trash. This approach ensured the efficiency and safety of the work. Particular attention was paid to cleaning ditches and drains. Stagnant water and debris in these systems can lead to unpleasant consequences, such as flooding and littering. Participants cleared the canals of debris, sediment, and foreign objects to allow water to flow freely. This also helps preserve green spaces and improve the environmental situation in the area. According to the participants, working outdoors and cleaning the area together provided not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. Every visible result—a clean yard, manicured lawns, cleared ditches—inspired further action and fostered a sense of responsibility for the environment. The young people learned to work in a team, delegate responsibilities, and monitor the process, which also developed organizational skills and the ability to collaborate. Since the beginning of 2025, 43 such cleanup days have already been held in Shymkent. As a result of these events, approximately 40 tons of waste were collected and removed. More than 3,000 citizens participated, making a significant contribution to improving the urban environment through their efforts. These figures clearly demonstrate the residents' commitment to cleanliness and the improvement of the city. In addition to their practical benefits, cleanup days also have an educational impact. Students and other participants see how their joint efforts improve the appearance of the city and create a comfortable living environment. They recognize that the cleanliness of their surroundings depends on each individual, and they develop the habit of maintaining order on a regular basis. Particular attention was paid to the maintenance of green spaces. Lawns and flowerbeds were cleared of dry grass, debris, and dead plants. Trees and shrubs were tended, and young plants were watered. These activities not only contribute to the aesthetic improvement of courtyards and streets but also develop practical skills in caring for nature, enhancing environmental awareness, and fostering a responsible attitude toward the environment. The organizers noted that cleanups should become a regular practice. Participants, both young and old, should regularly clean their surroundings to ensure the order created is maintained. Regular cleanups foster sustainable environmental habits and increase environmental responsibility among residents. The cleanup day also included waste sorting. Plastic bottles, paper, organic waste, and other materials were separated and sent for recycling. This not only helps clean the area but also reduces the burden on landfills, promotes recycling, and increases environmental awareness among citizens. The social significance of the event is also significant. Joint activities bring together people of all ages, fostering team spirit and a sense of belonging to the life of the neighborhood and city. Young people and adults worked together, shared experiences, and shared the importance of cleanliness and beautification. Such events foster social responsibility and active citizenship. According to one of the cleanup participants, a college student, "We cleaned up our courtyard and the surrounding streets. Keeping our surroundings clean is our contribution to the city's future. If everyone maintains order, our city will become beautiful and comfortable to live in." By the end of the cleanup, the grounds of the apartment building, lawns, flower beds, ditches, and pedestrian paths were completely cleaned and tidied up. Participants noted the high level of organization and the opportunity to see concrete results from their efforts. Thus, the cleanup day on November 1, 2025, in Shymkent's Turansky District, as part of the "Taza Beysenbi" campaign, became a clear example of how the joint efforts of residents, students, and teachers contribute to improving the environmental situation. More than 30 participants cleaned the courtyard, ditches, and lawns, removed trash, and tidied up the area. Since the beginning of the year, such events have been held 43 times, collecting approximately 40 tons of waste, and involving over 3,000 people. These events help improve residents' environmental awareness, foster the habit of keeping their city clean and caring for their community, and foster a sense of responsibility for the environment. "The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. Joint events bring people together, instill environmental responsibility in young people, and instill the habit of caring for nature," the organizers emphasized. The environmental campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that even small efforts by each individual can lead to significant results. Teamwork, attention to cleanliness, and the care of green spaces make the city a welcoming, safe, and attractive place for all residents.

On November 1, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign continued in the Turan district of Shymkent. This campaign was organized to form an ecological culture among city residents, keep the environment clean, and preserve greenery. Residents of the district, volunteers, students, and college students actively participated in the campaign. The Senbilik was held in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building on Adyrbekov Street. Those gathered were provided with special equipment and the work was organized systematically. Participants cleaned the ditches and ditches from debris, mowed the grass, swept the yard, and put it in order. Everyone contributed their share and took part in cleaning the yard and roads, green spaces, and public spaces. Such environmental measures are of great importance. They not only protect the air, soil, and waterways from pollution, but also contribute to environmental education among residents and the formation of a sense of responsibility for nature among young people. Each cleaned area is a concrete step towards a more comfortable life for residents. According to the participants of the Sabbath, organizing and jointly carrying out cleaning work brings great moral satisfaction. After cleaning the streets and yards, people feel better and feel that they have made a contribution to the cleanliness of the city as a whole. Young people and students see the results of their actions and absorb environmental responsibility. These actions have been held systematically since the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of 2025, such cleaning operations have been organized 43 times. During this time, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed in the Turan district and the city. This high figure clearly demonstrates the residents' inclination towards environmental culture and their commitment to making the city clean and attractive. In total, more than 3 thousand citizens participated in such campaigns and voluntarily took care of the environment. They were not limited to cleaning their yards and collecting garbage, but also took care of greenery, cleaned flower beds, and cleaned irrigation systems and ditches. This activity teaches young people to work in a team and raises their environmental awareness. Another important part of the Saturday is to increase the activity of residents themselves. Many participants noted that this campaign is not just a one-day event, but that everyone should do their part to maintain cleanliness. They understood that the more every yard, every road, and every green space is cleaned, the more beautiful, comfortable, and safe the city will be. The cleaning measures also have a great practical value. Hazardous waste, construction materials, plastic, paper, and food waste were collected from garbage dumps and taken to special places. Proper processing of this waste makes an additional contribution to environmental protection and teaches people about recycling and maintaining an ecological culture. The participants of the campaign especially emphasized the importance of cleaning irrigation systems. By cleaning the city's ditches and water channels, it is possible to prevent flooding and reduce the harmful effects of clogged waterways. In addition, these measures contribute to the growth of greenery and a comfortable life for residents. The social significance of the Sabbath is also great. When young people and adults work together to improve public spaces, a sense of solidarity, responsibility, and love for society is formed among them. These environmental actions are not limited to garbage collection, but also help people understand their place in society and their responsibility. The Shymkent City Akimat and the Turan District Administration supported the event and expressed their gratitude to all participants. They noted that it is necessary to organize such clean-up events regularly to form an ecological culture and keep the city clean. In addition, the Akimat called on residents to be active, take care of the environment, and make the city more attractive. One of the participants, college student Aidana, said: "We cleaned our yard and took out the trash. This is our contribution to making not only our college yard, but also the city clean. It is important for everyone to do their part. If we all work together, the city will be more beautiful and comfortable." In general, the "Clean Thursday" sabbatical on November 1, 2025 is a manifestation of the active participation of residents and young people of Shymkent in protecting the environment. People who participated in the sabbatical made their contribution by collecting garbage, cleaning ditches, and tidying up lawns. Such events not only create an environmental culture among residents, but also increase their activity in society and a sense of responsibility. It is expected that such Sabbaths will be held regularly in the future, and the city will remain clean, green, and comfortable. These events will not only teach young people about environmental responsibility, but will also make a significant contribution to the beautification of the city, the comfortable life of residents, and the formation of a culture of environmental protection. In conclusion, as part of the "Clean Thursday" Saturday on November 1, more than 30 people took part in cleaning and tidying up the courtyards, ditches, and lawns of a multi-storey residential building. As a result of such events, which have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed and more than 3 thousand citizens have been active. This is an important event aimed at increasing the environmental culture of city residents, creating a clean environment, and protecting greenery.

On November 1, 2025, a large-scale citywide cleanup event was held in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Taza Kazakstan." The event aimed to improve the environmental awareness of city residents, foster a habit of caring for the cleanliness of their homeland, and improve the condition of green spaces and public spaces. Employees of various institutions, college teachers and students, volunteers, and active city residents participated in the cleanup event. Particular attention was paid to educational institutions on this day. City colleges actively joined the campaign, organizing cleanups and landscaping of their grounds. Faculty and students collaborated to clean courtyards, green areas, lawns, flower beds, and adjacent college grounds. Irrigation systems were cleaned to ensure water flowed freely and did not stagnate in canals and ditches. Special attention was also paid to cleaning pedestrian paths to ensure they were safe and convenient for students and residents. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for the cleanup: gloves, rakes, shovels, buckets, and trash bags. The work was organized to ensure the safety of participants and maximize the effectiveness of the cleanup. All students and faculty were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific area of the college grounds. During the cleanup day, college teachers conducted short training sessions on proper waste sorting, landscaping, and tool safety. Students learned how to properly collect and sort waste, tend flower beds and lawns, and maintain irrigation systems to ensure water flows freely and doesn't stagnate. This gave the young people a hands-on understanding of the importance of caring for nature and personal responsibility for a clean environment. The cleanup included not only the college campuses but also adjacent streets, sidewalks, and public spaces. Students removed trash, raked fallen leaves, and cleared lawns and flower beds of dead and damaged plants. Irrigation canals and drains were also cleared of debris and sediment to allow water to flow freely, preventing flooding or odors. According to participants, working outdoors and cleaning the area together provided not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. Students noted that seeing the results of their labor—a clean yard, manicured lawns, and trash-free canals—inspired them and fostered a sense of responsibility for the environment. The event fostered team spirit, cooperation, and teamwork skills among the youth. Particular attention was paid to green spaces. Lawns, flower beds, and trees were not only cleared of debris but also well-maintained: flower beds were aired, dead plants were removed, and trees and flowers were watered. Participants gained practical experience in plant care, which will help them maintain the cleanliness and well-being of their schools and neighborhoods. The college administration thanked all participants for their active participation and emphasized that such events should become a regular practice. The cleanup day was not limited to just one day: the habits and skills developed should continue to be applied in the daily lives of students and faculty. This will ensure consistent cleanliness and order, as well as instill in young people a strong sense of responsibility for their hometown and its environmental health. The cleanup collected a large amount of trash, which was sorted and taken to designated recycling sites. Students actively participated in this effort, significantly improving the area and making the campus and surrounding streets safe and comfortable to navigate. The event had an important educational value. By participating in the cleanup, students learned to respect nature and understood that cleanliness and order are each person's contribution to the future of the city and country. This collaborative effort united young people, teachers, and volunteers, demonstrating that collective efforts can yield tangible results and contribute to the development of an environmentally responsible society. After the cleanup, the college grounds and surrounding areas were completely tidied up. Lawns and flowerbeds were clean and well-maintained, and the irrigation systems and pedestrian walkways were cleared of trash and debris. Participants felt a sense of accomplishment and were inspired to continue their environmental and urban development efforts. City colleges plan to hold such cleanups regularly. Plans include monthly or seasonal events to clean up the grounds, maintain green spaces, plant trees, and improve public spaces. This will allow students to develop environmental awareness, foster environmental stewardship, and actively participate in city life. The "Taza Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and the citywide cleanup day demonstrated that the joint efforts of students, teachers, and volunteers can significantly improve the urban environment. Every cleaned area, every planted bush or tree contributes to a clean, green, and comfortable city. The campaign's participants set an example for other educational institutions, inspiring them to participate in similar events. The campaign's main idea is simple: keeping the environment clean and tidy is everyone's responsibility. Even a small action, whether cleaning the college grounds or tending to trees and flowers, goes a long way toward improving the environment and creating a comfortable urban environment. The cleanup day on November 1, 2025, in Shymkent became an example of successful collaboration between educational institutions, students, teachers, and volunteers. The event contributed to an increase in environmental awareness, a sense of responsibility for the city, and the development of environmental stewardship. "Taza Kazakhstan" isn't just a cleanup campaign; it fosters a sustainable culture of cleanliness, responsibility, and concern for the future. By participating in the cleanup, students and teachers made a tangible contribution to the city's improvement, demonstrating that every person can make the world around them a better and cleaner place. A clean and well-maintained environment is the key to health, comfort, and harmony in society. The "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign in Shymkent clearly demonstrated that joint efforts, youth engagement, and regular cleaning and beautification can make the city green, clean, and welcoming for all residents.

On November 1, 2025, a city clean-up drive was organized in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". This campaign was held with the aim of increasing the environmental culture of city residents, instilling in them the habit of keeping the environment clean, and contributing to the growth of greenery. Employees of various institutions, teachers and students of educational organizations, and volunteer youth actively participated in the clean-up drive. Shymkent colleges also did not remain aloof from this campaign and implemented their own initiatives. College teachers and students jointly carried out cleaning and landscaping work on the college territory. During the event, the college courtyard, internal and external territories, irrigation systems, pedestrian paths, lawns, flower beds and other green areas were thoroughly cleaned. Participants collected, sorted and threw garbage into special containers. In addition, the collected garbage was taken to special places for processing or reuse. During the weekend, not only the college territory, but also its surroundings were not left out of the spotlight. Special attention was paid to the cleanliness of the irrigation systems: garbage was removed from the canals, flowing waterways were cleaned, and blockages and foreign objects were removed. Pedestrian paths and lawns were also cleared of garbage and restored to a safe and comfortable condition for residents and students. The participants of the event were provided with special equipment: shovels, rakes, buckets, gloves, garbage bags and other necessary tools. During the organization of these works, special attention was paid to safety rules. All participants actively and responsibly fulfilled their duties. Students understood the importance of contributing to cleanliness, protecting the environment and forming an ecological culture at every step. The main goal of the Saturday was not only to clean up the college grounds, but also to instill in young people a culture of responsible environmental stewardship. The joint activities of students and teachers developed their environmental awareness and increased their sense of care for nature. In addition, this event allowed students to develop teamwork and organizational skills. The college administration expressed its gratitude to the participants of the clean-up and highly appreciated their work. The representatives of the board noted that this event was not just a one-day event, but that the resulting clean-up habits would continue. They called on students, teachers, and volunteers to continue such initiatives on an ongoing basis. As the amount of garbage collected during the weekend shows, a lot of garbage and household waste has accumulated in the city. In this regard, each participant made their own contribution, making a real contribution to the beautification of the city and the comfortable life of residents. According to the participants, such a weekend brings people together, allows people of different ages to unite for a common goal, and forms environmental responsibility in society. An important part of the work carried out on the college territory was the care of greenery. Cleaning lawns and flower beds, cultivating the soil, and caring for plants showed young people a practical example of caring for nature. These actions not only formed an ecological culture among students, but also increased their desire to keep their environment clean in the future. After the weekend, the college yard, walkways, irrigation systems, and lawns were restored to a clean, orderly, and comfortable condition. The students felt great moral satisfaction from seeing the results of their hard work. In addition, this event fostered in them the qualities of responsibility, teamwork, and organization. The "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and the city Sabbath not only provide students with environmental education, but also develop a sense of patriotism in them. Protecting their native land, their city, and their college territory, keeping it clean is the duty of every citizen. The participants of the Sabbath demonstrated this principle through concrete actions. In the future, such Saturdays will be held regularly at the college. In order to teach the younger generation to protect the environment, form an ecological culture, and increase the activity of students and teachers, campaigns will be organized every month or every season. These works will not only improve the city, but also contribute to the residents living in a clean and comfortable environment. In conclusion, the city clean-up as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign held in Shymkent on November 1, 2025 was a clear demonstration of the joint efforts of college teachers and students to responsibly treat their environment. The cleaning activities carried out in the college courtyard, irrigation systems, pedestrian paths, lawns and flower beds made a great contribution to improving the ecological situation in the city, creating greenery, and creating a comfortable environment for residents. The participants of the Saturday event share their experience and aim to spread this initiative to other colleges and educational institutions. Protecting the environment and maintaining a clean environment is a responsibility for every person, and every action, even a small one, can make a big difference. The active actions of students and teachers are a concrete step towards leaving a clean, green and beautiful Shymkent for future generations. A clean environment is the key to a bright future. We want every citizen to take care of their environment, not pollute it, and contribute to making the city more beautiful. The Clean Kazakhstan campaign is not just about cleanliness, it is about culture, responsibility, and active citizenship in society.

Turan College in Shymkent announces the launch of a new environmental challenge, "Taza Kazakhstan." The main goal of this project is to protect nature, foster environmental awareness among young people and residents, and preserve the purity and beauty of our native land. We want to inspire other students, schoolchildren, and educational institutions to take an active role in preserving the environment. Our college has already carried out a number of activities to clean up the grounds, maintain green spaces, and improve the campus. Students and faculty worked together to collect trash, tend flower beds, water trees, and restore littered areas. Every action aimed at improving the environment is essential for fostering responsibility and understanding the importance of caring for the environment. The launch of the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge at Turan College is the first step in a larger initiative designed to unite all colleges and educational institutions in the city and across the country. We encourage each participant to share their successes by posting photos and videos of cleanups, tree plantings, or other environmental activities. This approach allows other educational institutions to be inspired by their peers and join the movement, fostering sustainable environmental stewardship. The challenge's core principles are simple, yet their impact is profound. Each participant must: maintain cleanliness on your territory, in the classrooms, on the college grounds; collect garbage and dispose of it in specially designated places; protect trees, flowers and green spaces; maintain order in the city's parks, squares and courtyards; actively share the results of your actions to motivate others. Turan College students participated in cleaning the campus, surrounding streets, and green spaces. They cleared trash, sorted waste, tended flower beds, and watered newly planted trees. Each student understood that their personal contribution directly impacted the environment, as well as the aesthetic appeal of the college and the surrounding area. The challenge aims not only to improve the environment but also to bring people together. Students share their experiences on social media, inviting friends, classmates, neighbors, and teachers to participate. Every photo or video from the cleanup becomes a motivator for others, demonstrating that caring for the environment is not just a chore but also a fun, rewarding, and unifying activity. According to the participants, working outdoors, cleaning the area, and planting trees provides not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. The sight of clean grounds, well-tended flowerbeds, and greenery brings joy and enhances a sense of self-worth. Furthermore, participating in such activities instills responsibility, discipline, team spirit, and respect for nature in students. Turan College emphasizes the importance of every initiative. Even one person who picks up trash or plants a tree contributes to improving the environment. The challenge encourages people to organize their own actions: cleaning their yards, planting trees, caring for plants, and sharing their results. It's important for young people to see their actions as part of a larger system—maintaining cleanliness and green spaces in their neighborhood, city, and country. Furthermore, the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge serves as an educational platform. Students have the opportunity to learn how to properly care for plants, sort waste, preserve ecosystems, and develop sustainable environmental habits. This hands-on experience not only helps young people improve the environment but also develop personal qualities such as responsibility, initiative, and teamwork. Turan College plans to make the challenge an annual tradition and expand to include new campuses, schools, and colleges. In the future, they plan to involve more volunteers, hold joint tree plantings, cleanup days in city parks and squares, and conduct educational campaigns on proper waste disposal. Each challenge participant can become a role model for their friends and colleagues. By posting photos and videos and sharing their experiences, people inspire others to care for nature and participate in environmental initiatives. This approach helps build a sustainable movement that unites city residents in environmental conservation. The main idea of the campaign is simple: cleanliness and order in our surroundings is an investment in the future. A clean environment means health, comfort, and aesthetic pleasure. Turan College encourages all educational institutions in the city and country to join the initiative, organize their own campaigns, share their results, and inspire others. Students and faculty at Turan College are confident that joint efforts can transform the face of a city. Joint cleanups, tree planting, and green space maintenance make cities more beautiful, green, and comfortable to live in and relax in. Every sapling, every cleaned area is an investment in the future that will last for years to come. Thus, the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge at Turan College not only improves the environment but also instills environmental responsibility in young people. This unifying event fosters team spirit, enhances environmental awareness, and motivates city residents to take action. We encourage all students, schoolchildren, teachers, and city residents to join the campaign! Organize your own cleanup, tree planting, or park maintenance, share your results, and inspire others to get involved. Collective action has the power and impact to make our city, college, neighborhood, and the entire country cleaner and greener. A clean environment is the key to a bright future!

Turan College has launched a new initiative aimed at protecting the environment and ecology. Our main goal is to make our homeland clean, beautiful, and comfortable, to promote environmental culture, and to make every citizen feel responsible for their environment. We will continue our work in this direction through the “Clean Kazakhstan” eco-challenge. Students and teachers of our college jointly organized environmental cleaning, tree planting, garbage collection, and maintenance of the city's greenery. These activities are aimed not only at improving the appearance, but also at forming an ecological culture among young people and increasing their love for nature protection. By holding cleanliness campaigns, we aimed to make students feel the importance of their actions. We will start this challenge with ourselves, but we will continue it and send it to other colleges and educational institutions. Each educational institution should join in on its own initiative and contribute to making our city, district or village clean. The essence of the Ecochallenge is that each participant will show their work through a photo or video and call on other people to protect nature. This is a truly useful and interesting initiative that increases social responsibility and encourages young people to be active. The basic principles of the TazaKazakhstan campaign are simple, but have a huge impact: everyone should take part in keeping their environment clean, throwing garbage in the designated places, not polluting nature, protecting trees and flowers, and keeping yards and parks in order. Through these actions, students understand the importance of keeping the environment clean, protecting nature, and leaving a clean and beautiful environment for future generations. During the first eco-challenge at Turan College, students and teachers cleaned the campus, sports fields, internal areas, greenery and flower beds. Participants collected garbage, sorted it, and handed it over to special places. They also actively participated in planting young trees and caring for flower beds. The personal participation of each student in these events was important, because the contribution of each person directly affects the improvement of the environment. Another goal of the Challenge is to unite different groups in society. Our students announced their initiative on social networks and invited colleagues, friends, neighbors and other colleges to join this action. This will allow to expand the environmental movement, increase youth activity and educate every citizen to be responsible for the environment. According to the participants of the campaign, cleaning brings not only physical benefits, but also a sense of moral satisfaction. A clean environment, beautiful flower beds, clean air - this brings joy to students, increases their self-confidence and strengthens their sense of responsibility. Such initiatives develop an ecological culture and patriotic feelings in young people. Turan College's eco-challenge is aimed at increasing youth activity as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign. Through their initiatives, students set an example for others and show that every citizen is capable of contributing to the environment. The challenge is unique in that it can be accepted by anyone, any educational institution, any district or city resident. By publishing their actions in photos and videos, each person demonstrates their contribution and inspires others. We all work towards the same goal: a clean environment, green parks, beautiful streets, flower-filled alleys and a yard free of garbage. The main thing is that every step, every action is important. A clean environment is the key to a bright future. Students share their experience and activism with other colleges and encourage every member of society to engage in nature conservation. We invite you to participate in the challenge! Organize your own action and share the results on social networks. Encourage others to participate in this event through photos and videos. Every piece of garbage collected, every tree planted, every flower garden taken care of — this is your real contribution to protecting nature and leaving a clean environment for future generations. Students and teachers of Turan College have demonstrated their responsibility towards the environment by initiating this challenge. We are providing an opportunity to form an ecological culture among young people and make their own contribution to environmental protection. The goal of the campaign is to encourage students, teenagers and the entire society to take active environmental action. Our call is simple, but powerful: let's act together for a Clean Kazakhstan! Let's keep the environment clean, take care of every tree and every flower, and contribute to the beautification of the city and the country. This is a concrete step you have taken for our future, for our own lives, and for the future of our children and grandchildren. Take the challenge, organize your own clean-up campaign, and send it to other colleges and educational institutions. Protecting nature, reducing waste, and caring for flower beds is the duty of each of us. Through joint efforts, we can turn our city, district, and country into a green, clean, beautiful, and comfortable place. Environmental care, cleanliness, and responsibility are among the key factors shaping the future of young people. Turan College, continuing this initiative, sets an example for other colleges and educational institutions and encourages all young people to lead an active ecological life. A clean environment is the key to a bright future!

On November 1, 2025, a large-scale tree planting event was held in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan." The event was initiated by employees of Beineu-Shymkent Gas Pipeline LLP and the city's Abay District Akimat. The event aimed to green the city's urban areas, improve the environmental situation, foster environmental awareness among residents, and develop habits of caring for cleanliness and green spaces. Around 100 people took part in the planting, including company employees, district administration representatives, volunteers, neighborhood residents, and students. Each participant was provided with the necessary equipment: shovels, rakes, buckets, and gloves, allowing for efficient and safe tree planting. The event took place in Korgan Park, where approximately one hundred coniferous trees, primarily pines and spruces, were planted. These trees were distributed among specially prepared plots, taking into account soil characteristics, light conditions, and future plant maintenance. This approach allowed for the creation of a harmonious composition of trees that will eventually become part of the city's green space, enhancing its appearance and creating a comfortable walking environment for residents. Employees of Beineu-Shymkent Gas Pipeline LLP noted that their participation in the campaign is not only a social initiative but also a contribution to the city's environmental well-being. "We are pleased to participate in the 'Taza Kazakhstan' campaign. Planting trees is a concrete step toward improving the environmental situation and creating a green and comfortable city. We hope these trees will bring joy to city residents for many years to come," said one of the company representatives. The Akimat of the Abay District also actively supported the event. Representatives of the district administration provided organizational support, delivered seedlings and tools, and prepared the site for planting. They emphasized that such events strengthen the bond between authorities and residents, raise environmental awareness, and instill a sense of responsibility for the environment. Before the planting began, participants received instructions on proper tree planting. Specialists demonstrated how to plant seedlings deeply, how to compact the soil around the roots, and how to properly water and care for young trees in the first months after planting. This approach allows the trees to successfully establish and thrive, and allows participants to feel a sense of belonging in preserving urban nature. Particular attention was paid to the educational component of the event. The organizers highlighted the importance of green spaces: trees purify the air, provide shade, regulate the microclimate, provide a habitat for birds and other animals, and enhance the city's visual appeal. The coniferous trees that were planted are particularly resilient to Shymkent's climate, allowing them to quickly establish themselves and delight residents with their greenery for many years to come. Students and schoolchildren actively participated in the planting. Young people helped prepare the holes, plant the trees, and water them, while learning from the experience of adult participants and volunteers. For many, this was not only a rewarding experience but also a powerful lesson in environmental responsibility and practical experience in participating in socially significant projects. The participants' collaborative efforts strengthened team spirit and a sense of community. People of different ages and backgrounds worked together, shared knowledge and experience, and helped each other, making the process more effective and enjoyable. Many participants noted that joint initiatives unite residents, foster environmental awareness, and instill a habit of caring for nature. After the tree planting, representatives of the akimat and the company thanked all participants for their active participation, noting that tree planting is a concrete contribution to the city's environmental future. Recommendations were given for the future care of the young trees: regular watering, soil loosening, pest control, and maintaining the park grounds. During the campaign, approximately one hundred trees were planted, which will eventually become a green space, providing shade and improving the microclimate and aesthetics of Korgan Park. The young conifers will provide comfortable conditions for residents to relax and stroll, improve air quality, and become part of a sustainable urban ecosystem. The "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that the joint efforts of government agencies, companies, and residents can yield tangible results. Such initiatives not only improve the environmental situation but also instill in residents the habit of caring for nature, fostering environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility. The organizers emphasized that such events will be held regularly. In the future, they plan to expand the tree planting program to other parks and squares across the city, conduct educational events for the public, and teach children and young people how to properly care for green spaces. Tree planting has become not only an environmental but also a social initiative. The collaborative work of participants strengthens community ties, fosters a sense of community and civic responsibility. Each sapling contributes to the health of city residents, improves the urban environment, and creates comfortable conditions for recreation and living. Thus, on November 1, 2025, nearly one hundred coniferous trees were planted in Shymkent's Korgan Park as part of the "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign. The event was a success, bringing together residents, students, volunteers, company employees, and representatives of the city administration. The planted trees will make a long-term contribution to greening the city, fostering environmental awareness, and creating a comfortable urban environment. The event demonstrated that the collective efforts of all participants can transform the appearance of a city, making it cleaner, greener, and more welcoming. The event inspired residents to take further action to improve and care for nature, and also became a shining example of effective collaboration between government agencies, businesses, and the public.

On November 1, 2025, a large-scale tree planting was carried out in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". The organizers of the festive event were employees of LLP "Beineu-Shymkent Gazoprovod" and the Abai district akimat. The main goal of the campaign was to decorate the city with greenery, improve the ecological situation, increase the ecological culture of residents, and contribute to making the city cleaner and more comfortable. The event was attended by about a hundred people. Among them were company employees, representatives of the district administration, volunteers, local residents, as well as school and university students. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for planting trees: hammers, buckets, shovels, bags and gloves. This facilitated the organizational work and created an efficient and safe environment for all participants. Tree planting was carried out in the "Korgan" park. On that day, about a hundred coniferous trees were planted in the park, among which pine and spruce species predominated. The trees were placed on pre-prepared plots, taking into account the characteristics of the soil, sunlight and tree care. This approach contributed to the rapid growth of the trees, their adaptation to the city ecosystem and a harmonious aesthetic appearance. Representatives of the Beineu-Shymkent Gazoprovod LLP noted that the campaign is not only a social initiative, but also a real contribution to improving the ecological situation of the city. "We are glad to participate in the Clean Kazakhstan campaign and contribute to the greening of our city. These trees provide residents with clean air, improve the beauty of the city, and help form a culture of environmental protection," said the company representative. The Abai district akimat also fully supported the campaign. Representatives of the akimat prepared the planting sites in advance, delivered the necessary materials and seedlings, and provided all organizational work. They noted that such campaigns strengthen ties between residents and local authorities and instill in residents a sense of responsibility for nature protection. Before planting the trees, all participants were given special instructions. Experts showed how to plant the seedlings deeply, how to pack the soil tightly, how to water the tree, and how to care for it in the first months. This approach allowed the trees to grow successfully and gave participants the opportunity to feel that they could directly influence the environment. During the event, the ecological significance of planting trees was explained. Experts explained how trees affect the ecology of the city: they clean the air, reduce dust, regulate the climate, create shade, and also give the city an aesthetic appeal. Trees, as green areas, enhance the natural beauty of the city and become a comfortable place for residents to relax. Students and schoolchildren also showed their activity. They dug the soil, planted trees, and watered. Such activities taught the younger generation responsibility for nature protection and gave them practical skills. Volunteers taught new participants how to plant trees correctly, contributing to the formation of an ecological culture. The participants' teamwork strengthened team spirit and increased mutual support in the community. People of different ages and professional backgrounds worked together and helped each other. Many participants emphasized the importance of keeping the city clean and protecting the environment. After the tree planting was completed, representatives of the akimat and the company thanked all participants. They gave recommendations for the growth and care of the newly planted trees: regular watering, soil cultivation, pest protection, and keeping the park clean. As a result, about a hundred new trees were planted in the park. Over time, they will form a green belt in the city, providing residents with fresh air, shade, a place to relax, and help maintain ecological balance. The trees will become part of the city's sustainable ecosystem. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign has shown that the joint efforts of residents, government agencies, enterprises and volunteers in Shymkent contribute to improving the environmental situation. Such measures help make the city greener, cleaner, more comfortable and more beautiful, form the ecological culture of residents, and increase social responsibility. Similar campaigns will be held regularly in the future. The plan is to plant new trees in other parks and squares, educate residents on tree care, and instill an environmental culture in young people. Planting trees has not only ecological but also social significance. The joint work of participants strengthens the bonds between people in society, develops civic responsibility and demonstrates the participation of each person in the ecology of the city. Each planted tree is a long-term ecological and aesthetic gift for residents and future generations. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign held in Shymkent on November 1, 2025 was a success. About a hundred trees were planted in the park, young people and volunteers showed their activity, representatives of the akimat and companies showed their support. The planted trees not only improve the beauty of the city, but also provide residents with clean air, a comfortable recreational environment, and environmental education. This action set an example for the city's residents and showed the importance of caring for nature. Through the "Clean Kazakhstan" project, Shymkent will continue its systematic work aimed at becoming a green, clean and beautiful city.
