AUEZ UNIVERSITY TOOK ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN WORLD CLEANUP DAY 20.09.2025
In September 2025, many countries around the world, including Kazakhstan, celebrated the traditional World Cleanup Day . This annual event unites millions of people around the globe around the idea of caring for the environment, fostering an environmental culture, and a responsible attitude toward nature. Among the active participants in this large-scale movement was Mukhtar Auezov South Kazakhstan University , which distinguished itself not only as an educational institution but also as an initiator of environmental projects and social initiatives. Faculty, staff, and hundreds of university students joined the events, organized jointly with the Turan District Akimat. This widespread support demonstrated that the idea of environmental responsibility resonates deeply with both educators and the younger generation. From early morning, the participants took to the streets for a cleanup. They cleaned the area around Dormitory No. 1, tidied up the adjacent multi-story buildings, and began cleaning up vacant lots between Baitursynov Street and Konayev Avenue. In doing so, the university youth demonstrated that environmental stewardship should extend beyond the confines of academic buildings and encompass the entire urban landscape. One student noted, "Today we didn't just clean up trash. We showed that we love our city and understand our responsibility for its future . " A highlight of the event was the launch of an environmental challenge under the symbolic motto: "Cleanup Day – Not for One Day, but for Life!" Organizers and students urged residents to go beyond a one-time cleanup and turn cleanliness into a daily habit. The idea quickly gained traction. Many participants shared photos and videos on social media, spreading the challenge among their friends and acquaintances. The challenge focused on simple yet important steps such as separate waste collection, recycling plastic and paper, caring for green spaces, and resource conservation. Participation in the campaign has an important educational value. Young people learn to understand that environmental conservation begins with small steps: a clean yard, careful waste management, and a careful use of water and energy. M. Auezov University places special emphasis on environmental issues. It runs student clubs, conducts environmental research, and organizes educational seminars and roundtables. However, it is practical events like World Cleanup Day that allow students to put theoretical knowledge into practice and foster genuine civic responsibility. The event was held with the active support of the Turan District Akimat. This collaboration between the university and local authorities became an example of successful community partnership. The district administration provided the necessary organizational support, and students and faculty ensured their active participation and personal commitment. Residents of nearby houses also joined the campaign. This collaborative effort brought together people of different generations, professions, and views, demonstrating that ecology is a shared responsibility in which everyone's contribution is essential. University leadership emphasized that participation in just one cleanup day does not limit the university's environmental activities. In the near future, plans are underway to hold environmental weeks , plant trees, implement waste recycling programs, and encourage student participation in green energy projects. According to teachers, such initiatives not only help improve the city but also educate a new generation of citizens for whom environmental awareness will become part of their worldview. The students are convinced that even a small contribution from each individual can make a difference. One participant noted, "If everyone keeps their own homes and yards clean, our entire city will be cleaner. It's a small step for one, but a huge one for society . " The results of World Cleanup Day in Shymkent demonstrated that young people are ready to be a driving force for positive change. Mukhtar Auezov University became a shining example of how an educational institution can unite the efforts of students, faculty, local authorities, and residents toward a common goal: a clean and green city. The slogan "Cleanup Day – Not for One Day, but for Life!" became the main symbol of the event. It emphasizes that true care for nature isn't limited to a single day, but must be a constant part of everyday life. Thus, Auezov University's participation in World Cleanup Day was more than just a cleanup, but an important step toward creating an environmentally responsible society. This initiative reminds everyone that environmental protection is not only the responsibility of government agencies but also the personal responsibility of every citizen.
AUEZOV UNIVERSITY ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN WORLD CLEANING DAY 20.09.2025
Kazakhstan has also joined the traditional World Cleanup Day , which will be held worldwide in September 2025. Many government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions are actively involved in this initiative and are making their contribution to environmental protection. Among them , the South Kazakhstan State University named after M. Auezov stands out. This environmental event was attended by the university's faculty, staff, and hundreds of students from each faculty. With their activity, they not only set an example for young people, but also initiated the formation of an ecological culture in society. The rector of the university also emphasized the importance of this event, emphasizing that keeping their native land clean is the main duty of every citizen. During the Subbotnik, the participants cleaned the area around the university's dormitory No. 1, the courtyards of the adjacent multi-storey residential buildings, as well as the vacant areas between Baitursynov Street and Kunayev Avenue. This initiative went beyond the walls of the university and made a positive impression on the residents of the entire district. One of the students shared his thoughts: “Today we did not just collect garbage, we learned to look responsibly at the future . ” As part of the environmental campaign, a unique challenge has been launched. It was launched under the slogan " Subbotnik - not a one-day, but a lifelong habit! " This initiative has gained wide support among young people and has also spread widely on social networks. The main goal of the challenge is to make cleanliness a habit not only on a certain day, but in everyday life. The university youth enthusiastically embraced the idea and invited their friends and acquaintances to join this eco-initiative. Students in particular understood the need to incorporate into their lifestyle skills such as protecting nature, sorting household waste, and recycling plastic and paper. This event has great educational value. Because the development of young people's love and responsibility for nature determines the quality of the future society. Auezov University has various disciplines, clubs and scientific projects aimed at ecological culture. However, such practical events allow you to combine theoretical knowledge with practical work. The collaboration of students and teachers not only strengthens the team spirit, but also increases environmental responsibility. Their work has also served as an example to local residents and encouraged many people to be clean. This event was organized jointly with the district akimat. The Turan district akimat considers supporting environmental projects to be one of its main tasks. Through close cooperation with the university, environmental protection work in the region is being systematically carried out. Local residents also participated with the students and showed their willingness to clean up the neighborhoods around their homes. Such public partnership strengthens responsibility for the common cause and clearly demonstrates the contribution of each citizen to nature protection. This initiative of Auezov University will not be a one-day event. In the future, regular ecological weeks, tree planting events, and waste recycling projects will be organized. The university team aims to instill in students the skills of protecting nature and educating them as eco-conscious individuals. The opinions of university youth are also proof of this. One student noted : “Our work today may seem like a small thing. But if everyone keeps their yard clean, the whole city, even the country, will be cleaner, and our care for nature will increase.” World Cleanup Day is not just about picking up trash, but, first of all, a global initiative aimed at creating an ecological culture. The faculty and students of Auezov University set a clear example for society by actively participating in this event. The motto "Senbiliye is not a one-day skill, but a lifelong skill!" will forever remain in the hearts of university youth and become their life principle. Such initiatives are very important for the ecological future of our country. After all, protecting nature is the civic duty of each of us.
Taza Kazakhstan: Employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee took part in a citywide cleanup day 21.09.2025
On September 21, 2025, as part of the national environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan," employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee participated in a cleanup day to contribute to improving the city's sanitary conditions and maintaining environmental cleanliness. The event served as further proof that caring for nature and fostering a culture of cleanliness is a shared responsibility, requiring the participation of both government agencies and society as a whole. Early in the morning, Committee employees, armed with the necessary equipment—brooms, rakes, and trash bags—were dispatched to their assigned areas. The primary cleanup areas were public spaces, courtyards, green spaces, and areas adjacent to administrative buildings. Workers worked together to clear lawns of fallen leaves, collect trash, whitewash trees, and maintain sidewalks and walkways. According to participants, such events are important not only for the cleanup process but also as a role model for the public. When government officials personally clean the streets and demonstrate their commitment to the city's sanitary conditions, it encourages ordinary citizens to take a more responsible approach to their yards, streets, and neighborhoods. Participating in the cleanup day isn't just about picking up trash; it's a symbol of community solidarity and an example of social responsibility. Committee staff emphasize that sanitation is an indicator of a society's overall culture. If everyone is mindful of the environment and their surroundings, the city as a whole will become cleaner, more comfortable, and safer. As part of the campaign, Committee representatives held educational talks with passersby and residents of nearby buildings. They reminded people of the basic rules of household waste management, the importance of separate waste collection, and the need to recycle or dispose of plastic, glass, and food waste in separate containers. They also emphasized that sanitary conditions are directly linked to public health: filth, unauthorized dumping, and poor sanitary standards often lead to infections and the spread of diseases. Although the cleanup lasted only a few hours, the results were impressive. Several dozen bags of trash were collected and removed from the areas assigned to Committee employees. Special equipment was used to transport the waste to designated landfills. Sidewalks, lawns, ditches, and roadside areas were cleared. Special attention was paid to green spaces: trees were whitewashed, and flowerbeds were cleared of weeds. But the organizers said the most important result wasn't the amount of trash collected, but rather the gradual development of an understanding of the importance of environmental awareness. Each employee who participated in the cleanup demonstrated by their example: cleanliness begins with personal responsibility. The cleanup also served as a platform for strengthening team spirit. Committee employees, who usually work in offices with documents and reports, worked together outdoors this time. This shared effort brought the team closer together, provided an opportunity for informal communication and shared achievement. Many participants noted that working together was not only easier but also more enjoyable. The shared effort made cleaning a positive and even inspiring process. This collaborative effort demonstrates that any task—whether environmental or otherwise—is accomplished more quickly and efficiently when working collaboratively and with purpose. It's important to note that "Taza Kazakhstan" is not a one-time campaign. It is systemic and is held throughout the year in various regions of the country. The Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control plans to continue to actively participate in such events. Furthermore, the agency plans to conduct additional public education campaigns aimed at improving hygiene and environmental responsibility. The Committee representatives emphasized that sanitary safety and environmental protection are not solely the responsibility of government agencies. They are the responsibility of every citizen of the country. Only through joint efforts can sustainable results be achieved: clean streets, well-maintained parks, and a healthy sanitary environment. The cleanup day held on September 21st was a shining example of how civil servants contribute to improving the quality of life for city residents through their work. Employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee go beyond their official duties in their offices and actively participate in real-life activities aimed at the benefit of society. Their participation demonstrated that hygiene is not a formality, but a real value, without which it is impossible to build a healthy and developed society. "Taza Kazakhstan" continues to unite people around the idea of cleanliness and caring for the environment. Thus, the cleanup day became more than just an environmental campaign, but a true demonstration of unity, responsibility, and a commitment to a better future. After all, a city's cleanliness is a reflection of its residents' awareness, their attitude toward nature, themselves, and future generations.
Participation of employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee in the Sabbath as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign 21.09.2025
On September 21, 2025, as part of the traditionally ongoing republican environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan", employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee went on a sabbatical. The main goal of this event is to improve the sanitary condition of the city, strengthen environmental culture among residents, and develop a tradition of protecting nature in society. The committee team actively contributed to nature protection, ensuring cleanliness and sanitary conditions. The cleaning work began early in the morning. The employees took the necessary equipment and headed to the common areas. Armed with tools such as brooms, bags, and rakes, the civil servants cleaned lawns and pedestrian paths, public places, and tree trunks of garbage and leaves, helping to improve the sanitary condition of the area. According to the committee's employees, such clean-up drives are important not only for cleanliness, but also for setting an example for society. Because when civil servants themselves contribute to environmental protection and sanitary safety, ordinary citizens are encouraged to join such initiatives. Sanitation is not just about garbage collection, it is a mechanism for building social responsibility. The committee team emphasized that through this event, each citizen's attitude to the environment is an indicator of their culture and civic position. Maintaining cleanliness is not just a one-day event, it should become a daily lifestyle. Therefore, representatives of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee spoke with residents during the Sabbath, explaining simple but important rules related to ecology and cleanliness. For example, it was said that proper sorting of household waste, separate collection of plastic and glass, disposal of food waste in special places, maintenance of green areas - all of which directly affect the cleanliness of the city. During the weekend, several areas were cleaned and dozens of bags of garbage were collected. The collected waste was delivered to designated locations using special equipment. In addition, tree stumps were whitewashed, ditches were cleaned, and dead branches and leaves were removed. Such work not only improves the sanitary conditions of the city, but also has a positive impact on the quality of life of residents. According to the participants of the campaign, the main achievement is not only the cleanliness and beauty of the city, but also the increase in environmental awareness among residents. Because each employee who takes a sabbatical is an example to those around them and promotes respect for nature. During the Sabbath, the committee members worked closely together. Working together not only strengthened the unity of the team, but also renewed each employee's attitude towards nature. According to many, work done together is always easier and more productive. This is one of the main principles in the development of not only the Sabbath, but also society as a whole. The Saturday work also showed that public service is not limited to paperwork, but rather has a great social mission for society. It once again proved that government agencies can be leaders in the formation of an ecological and sanitary culture. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is not limited to a one-day event. It is a comprehensive initiative that will continue throughout the year, implemented in stages. The Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee will continue to participate in such events on a regular basis in the future, contributing to environmental education of society and supporting sanitary and hygienic conditions. As the committee representatives noted, ecology and cleanliness are not the responsibility of just one organization or a certain industry, but are the common duty of all Kazakhstanis. Therefore, the active participation of every citizen in such actions will be a great contribution to the future of the country. The Saturday event held on September 21 clearly demonstrated the social responsibility of the employees of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee to society and their compassion for nature. With their work, they proved the importance of protecting the environment, improving sanitary conditions, and improving the quality of life of the population. This initiative is an example of the joint efforts of society and government agencies. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign will continue, and in the future, new initiatives aimed at filling the cities and villages of our country with cleanliness and green spaces will be implemented. Thus, Shabbat is not just about garbage collection, it is a manifestation of culture, responsibility, patriotism, and environmental protection. This work of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee has shown society how important environmental thinking and shared responsibility are.

From early morning, government employees, schoolchildren, students, and representatives of various public organizations took to the streets to contribute to creating a clean and comfortable environment. The atmosphere of the cleanup day was marked by unity and cohesion: residents worked together, helped each other, and set an example of caring for the environment. During the campaign, large-scale cleanup efforts were organized. Using specialized equipment, solid household waste was transported to designated landfills. Tens of tons of trash were collected from streets, courtyards, and residential areas. Particular attention was paid to roadsides, ditches, and canals, which were cleared of accumulated trash and silt. This improved the sanitary conditions of the area and prevented potential problems with drainage systems. In addition to garbage collection, a significant amount of work was devoted to landscaping green spaces. Lawns were mowed and watered, and shrubs and trees were trimmed. Tree trunks were whitewashed, which not only gave them a neat appearance but also protected them from pests. Flower beds were tidied up, and in some areas, residents planted new ornamental plants. All these measures gave the district's streets and parks a well-maintained and attractive appearance. Particular attention was paid to educational and outreach activities on this day. Organizers emphasized that the cleanup day was not a one-time event, but rather part of a systematic effort to foster a culture of cleanliness among the population. During the event, representatives of environmental organizations explained to residents the importance of separate waste collection, recycling, and careful stewardship of natural resources. Participants were reminded that everyone can contribute to maintaining cleanliness not only during the cleanup day but also in their everyday lives. District Akim Azizkhan Ismailov personally visited several rural districts where the work was taking place and reviewed the progress of the event. He noted the residents' activism, thanked everyone for their participation, and emphasized that such events should be held regularly. The heads of the responsible agencies were instructed to strengthen environmental education efforts, more actively involve schoolchildren and students in landscaping activities, and systematically organize cleanup days throughout the year. The role of young people is undeniable. Students, schoolchildren, and volunteers demonstrated particular zeal: they not only actively participated but also encouraged their peers to keep the cleanliness up. Many shared their impressions on social media, posted photos, and spoke about the importance of such events. Thus, the environmental initiative received widespread public attention. The older generation also got involved. Elderly residents joined the cleanup effort alongside younger residents, setting a worthy example. They shared that, since Soviet times, such cleanups had been a good tradition that helped bring people together and foster a sense of responsibility for their small homeland. The results of the cleanup were immediately noticeable: the streets were cleaner, the courtyards and parks were more well-maintained, and the participants' overall spirits were lifted. Many noted that by working together, they not only cleaned up the area but also strengthened community ties. After all, such events bring neighbors, colleagues, and classmates closer together, turning shared work into a celebration of unity. The organizers emphasize that World Cleanup Day is a global initiative uniting millions of people around the world. The Kazygurt District's participation in this movement demonstrates that residents of the region recognize the importance of environmental protection and are willing to contribute to the common cause. In the future, they plan to hold similar events more frequently, expand their scope, and attract ever-increasing numbers of people. Thus, the community cleanup day in the Kazygurt district became not only a practical measure to clean up the area but also a symbol of community responsibility for the environment. The event demonstrated that with joint efforts, significant results can be achieved, making the district cleaner, more comfortable, and more livable. The key is to maintain this spirit and make cleanliness a regular habit for every resident.

This initiative will undoubtedly continue in the future and make a significant contribution to the beautification of the district and the protection of nature.
Inteko LLC is actively cleaning drainage channels in the Yenbekshinsky district in anticipation of the rainy season. 24.09.2025
The Yenbekshinsky District is one of the most dynamically developing areas of Shymkent. Its population is constantly growing, and new residential complexes, social facilities, and commercial buildings are being built. Under these circumstances, ensuring reliable and safe infrastructure, as well as implementing preventative measures against natural disasters, is becoming a key priority for local authorities and utility services. In recent years, Shymkent residents have increasingly noted that climate change is significantly impacting the region. Precipitation has increased, the weather has become more unstable, and heavy downpours and prolonged rains often create serious problems. During the fall and winter, rain and melting snow cause water to accumulate on the streets, impeding traffic and pedestrians. To avoid such inconveniences, city authorities, working with utility companies, are implementing a range of preventative measures. One such project is the cleaning of drainage channels, which is being carried out by Inteko LLC in the Yenbekshinsky District. This project is being carried out in preparation for the rainy season and is already being implemented at an intensive pace. The primary objective of these measures is to ensure timely drainage of rainwater and prevent flooding. Cleaning the gutters achieves several important results: the likelihood of water accumulation along roads is reduced; the safety of vehicle traffic is increased; more comfortable conditions for pedestrian movement are created; the process of road surface destruction slows down. Thus, this work is not only local, but also strategic in nature, as it directly impacts the convenience and safety of city residents. Specialized vehicles and crews have been deployed to the area. The cleanup is being carried out in stages: each street is being covered, with attention paid to the most problematic areas. The following actions are carried out within the framework of the events: removing leaves that clog the trays; removal of garbage and household waste; removal of accumulated silt and dirt that reduce the capacity of canals; partial repair of damaged sections of trays. All collected waste is transported to designated landfills to prevent secondary contamination. The process is organized to minimize disruption to local residents. Inteko LLC takes a comprehensive approach to this issue. In addition to the technical aspects, they also work with the public. Many problems arise because residents themselves throw garbage into ditches and gutters, which leads to clogging. The company reminds that the district's ecology and the efficiency of the stormwater drainage system largely depend on the awareness of city residents. Following basic rules will significantly reduce the burden on public utilities. The Yenbekshinsky District is densely populated, home to schools, hospitals, markets, and large shopping centers. Flooding affects not only residents but also the operation of public facilities. Water accumulating on roads can pose a safety hazard: pedestrians are forced to go out onto the roadway; transport moves slowly and there is a risk of accidents; the likelihood of road accidents increases; Sanitary conditions are deteriorating. This is why timely cleaning of drainage channels is one of the most important preventative measures. Local residents are positive about the initiative. Many note that previously, after heavy rains, water could remain on some streets for several days, hindering travel. Now the situation is gradually improving: the water is receding more quickly, and the roads remain dry and safe. Inteko's management emphasizes that this work should not be limited to preparation for the rainy season. The company plans to clean the trays regularly, several times a year. Furthermore, future plans include expanding the fleet of specialized equipment, increasing the number of work crews, and introducing new technologies that will improve the effectiveness of these measures. This approach will help maintain utility networks in good condition and significantly reduce the risk of flooding. Cleaning drainage channels in the Yenbekshinsky District is not just a seasonal event, but an important part of a systematic effort to improve urban infrastructure. They contribute to: reducing the consequences of natural phenomena; ensuring road safety; improving the sanitary conditions of the area; creating a more comfortable living environment for city residents. Thus, preparing for the rainy season becomes a major step towards increasing the resilience of the urban environment to climate challenges. The team at Inteko LLC makes a significant contribution to the development of Shymkent and the well-being of its residents, creating conditions for a comfortable and safe life.
Inteko LLP is actively cleaning gutters in the Enbekshy district 24.09.2025
Enbekshy district is one of the rapidly developing areas of Shymkent. The population here is growing every year, new housing complexes and social facilities are being built. In this context, maintaining the district's infrastructure and conducting preventive measures against natural disasters are among the main tasks of local authorities and public utilities. In recent years, climate change, increased precipitation, and unstable weather conditions have been particularly felt in Shymkent. It is no secret that especially in the autumn-winter season, during heavy rains and snowmelt, water accumulates on the streets, causing inconvenience to residents. In order to prevent such inconveniences, the city administration and relevant institutions have been systematically implementing a number of preventive measures. One of them is the cleaning of drainage channels in the Enbekshi district by Inteko Limited Liability Company. This event was organized as part of preparations for the rainy season and is currently underway. The main goal of the work is to prevent flooding by timely draining rainwater collected on the streets. By cleaning the trays: Water accumulation along the road is reduced; traffic will be safe and continuous; pedestrian traffic becomes more comfortable; Rapid deterioration of streets is not allowed. That is, this measure will not only make the daily lives of residents easier, but will also contribute to the preservation of the city's overall infrastructure. Currently, special equipment and workers have been mobilized throughout the district. Each street is being covered in stages, and the gutters are being completely cleaned. During cleaning, the following work is performed: leaves collected on the surface of ditches and trays are removed; garbage and household waste are removed; Clay soil and sediment are removed, increasing the permeability of the ditch system; If necessary, damaged parts of the trays are repaired. The collected waste is taken to special places, preventing secondary pollution. All these works are organized in such a way as not to cause inconvenience to residents. The team of Inteko LLP not only performs technical work, but also conducts educational work among residents. This is because dumping garbage into ditches and dumping household waste is primarily a problem that depends on the actions of residents themselves. If people maintained an ecological culture and did not throw garbage into ditches, the throughput of the trays would be much higher. At the same time, company representatives urge residents to protect nature, maintain public order, and take good care of infrastructure. Enbekshi district is a densely populated area. It is home to schools, hospitals, social facilities, and large shopping centers. If water accumulates on the streets after rainfall, this can be not only a domestic inconvenience, but also a public safety issue. In case of water accumulation: pedestrians will be forced to take to the road; traffic becomes difficult; the risk of road accidents increases; sanitary conditions deteriorate. For this reason, the ongoing cleanup efforts are of strategic importance for the district. Local residents are positive about the ongoing work. They say that in the past, after rain, water would accumulate on some streets and remain there for several days. This especially hindered children from going to school and residents from going to work. Now, the situation is gradually improving. Inteko intends to carry out such work not only as a seasonal event, but also on a regular basis. According to the plan, ditches and trays will be cleaned several times a year. In addition, in the future, it is planned to purchase new equipment, increase the number of workers, and introduce modern methods. These measures will raise the level of infrastructure maintenance to a systematic level, paving the way for residents to live a comfortable and safe life. The ongoing gutter cleaning work in the Enbekshi district is an important measure that will directly affect the daily lives of ordinary residents. It will not only prevent water from accumulating on the streets, but will also improve the overall sanitary condition of the city. The main goal of preparing for the rainy season is to minimize the consequences of natural phenomena and ensure the safety of residents. Through such good deeds, the Inteko team contributes to improving the city's infrastructure and ensuring a comfortable and safe life for residents.
In the Karatau district of Shymkent, an operational and preventive measure is being carried out on the topic of "Transportation of livestock and meat sales points." 24.09.2025
In September 2025, a large-scale preventative operation, codenamed "Livestock Transportation and Meat Sales Areas," was launched in Shymkent's Karatau District. The main goal of the operation was to prevent the illegal transportation of animals and meat products, ensure compliance with veterinary and sanitary standards, and protect the public from low-quality and potentially dangerous food products. Shymkent is one of the country's largest metropolitan areas, with a rapidly growing population. This creates an increased demand for high-quality and safe food products. Meat and meat products are particularly important, as they form the basis of many families' diets. Failure to comply with sanitary requirements during the transportation and sale of meat can lead to widespread illness, epidemiological threats, and other negative consequences. The Karatau district is characterized by the active development of private farmsteads and farms where livestock are kept. Furthermore, the district is home to numerous retail outlets and markets selling meat. Therefore, the issue of bringing order to this area is particularly pressing. The event involves officers from the Karatau District Police Department, veterinary specialists, representatives of the sanitary and epidemiological control department, and the Akimat. All agencies are working closely together: The police are responsible for identifying cases of illegal transportation and drawing up administrative reports; veterinarians check the availability and accuracy of veterinary accompanying documents; Sanitary inspectors assess the quality and safety of meat products; The Akimat provides organizational and informational support. Particular attention is being paid to vehicles transporting animals and meat. Mobile teams are conducting raids at city entrances and along the district's main thoroughfares. Documentation for transported animals, as well as veterinary certificates and permits, are being checked. In cases where the transport is carried out without documentation, the products are subject to confiscation, and violators are subject to administrative penalties. In addition to roads, inspections are also conducted at markets. There, vendor stalls, refrigeration equipment, and sanitary conditions for meat storage are checked. Vendors are required to present certificates confirming the origin of their goods and their inspection by a veterinary and sanitary inspection laboratory. Regulatory authorities remind citizens and entrepreneurs that current legislation provides clear requirements: transportation of animals and meat must be carried out only on specially equipped vehicles; each batch of livestock or meat must be accompanied by veterinary documents; storage and sale of meat is permitted only if temperature conditions and sanitary standards are observed; Before sale, products must undergo laboratory testing. Violation of these rules entails administrative penalties – fines, confiscation of products, and, in particularly serious cases, suspension of the retail outlet’s operations. The event is aimed not only at identifying violators but also at preventing them. To this end, educational talks are held with sellers and carriers, and informational leaflets are distributed. City residents are advised that purchasing meat without documentation and laboratory testing poses a serious health risk. Meat-borne infections can spread quickly and affect large numbers of people. Therefore, every buyer should exercise vigilance: check the seller's documentation and inquire about the origin of the product. Numerous violations were uncovered within the first few days of the raids. Specifically, it was discovered that some carriers were transporting livestock without accompanying documents. Vendors were found at several markets attempting to sell meat without laboratory certification. Administrative reports were filed based on these incidents, and the products were seized. The violators were informed that such actions are unacceptable, as they pose a threat to public health. Law enforcement and control agencies have stated that work in this area will continue on an ongoing basis. Plans are underway to expand the number of mobile teams, increase their coverage area, and engage public organizations in collaboration. The goal is not only to identify violations but also to create conditions that facilitate the legitimate activities of entrepreneurs. To this end, training seminars, consultations, and the provision of necessary methodological assistance are planned. The operational and preventive measure "Transportation of livestock and meat sales points", carried out in the Karatau district of the city of Shymkent, is of strategic importance for ensuring food security and protecting public health. Its main goal is to prevent illegal trafficking of meat products, draw public attention to sanitary and veterinary issues, and develop a responsible attitude towards food quality among entrepreneurs and consumers. Such measures not only help identify violations but also prevent them in the future, nurturing citizens' understanding that safety begins with each of us.
Urgent preventive measures are being taken in the Karatau district of Shymkent city regarding "Livestock transportation and meat sales points" 24.09.2025
In September 2025, an urgent preventive measure was launched in the Karatau district of Shymkent in the direction of "Livestock transportation and meat sales points". The main goal of this measure is to prevent the illegal transportation of livestock and livestock products, monitor compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements, and deliver high-quality, safe meat products to the population. Shymkent is one of the largest megacities in the country. As the city's population continues to grow, the issue of food safety is becoming increasingly urgent. In particular, since the quality of meat and meat products directly affects the health of residents, it is necessary to strengthen control in this area. There are enough livestock farms in the Karatau district, as well as markets and shops selling livestock products. Therefore, regular explanatory, inspection and preventive measures are carried out to prevent situations such as illegal transportation and the sale of meat products without proper documentation. Employees of the Karatau District Police Department, specialists from the veterinary department, representatives of the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control, and local executive bodies were mobilized for urgent preventive measures. The joint work of these structures is complex. The tasks of each institution are clearly defined: police officers are engaged in identifying illegal transportation; veterinary specialists check the correctness of documents for livestock and meat products; Sanitary service specialists assess the quality and safety of meat; Akimat representatives coordinate general organizational activities. As part of the event, special attention was paid to livestock transport vehicles in the district. Special mobile teams conducted raids on the roads leading to the city and checked the documents of vehicles. If there was no veterinary certificate, waybill or appropriate sanitary permits when transporting livestock, such cases were formalized and measures were taken in accordance with the law. Unscheduled inspections were also conducted at markets and retail outlets where meat was sold. Traders were asked to provide documents proving the origin of the product and certificates confirming that it had passed a veterinary laboratory test. The main requirements for the transportation and sale of livestock and livestock products are as follows: transport livestock only in vehicles equipped in accordance with sanitary regulations; have a veterinary certificate for each animal or meat; meat products must be stored in special packaging and the specified temperature regime must be maintained; Products must pass a veterinary laboratory test before being sold in the markets. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in administrative fines and product confiscation. The event did not consist only of inspections. Specialists conducted explanatory work with the public at markets and livestock sales areas. Legal requirements were explained to sellers and transporters, and memos were distributed. Residents were told that purchasing low-quality and undocumented meat products is dangerous to health. Undocumented products can spread infectious diseases, so when buying meat, every citizen must ask where it comes from and whether it has undergone a veterinary examination. As a result of the first raids, a number of violations were identified. For example, it turned out that some transporters were transporting livestock without proper documents. In addition, several vendors at the market were trying to sell meat products without passing them through a veterinary laboratory. Administrative protocols were filed in these cases and the products were confiscated. This, in turn, was a measure taken to protect the population from low-quality products. Such preventive measures will continue on the territory of Karatau district. In the future, it is planned to expand the scope of inspections and increase the number of mobile teams. In addition, explanatory work will be intensified to support entrepreneurs. That is, it is important not only to punish those who violate the law, but also to warn and provide guidance. The urgent preventive action on "Livestock transportation and meat sales points" taking place in the Karatau district is an important initiative aimed at protecting public health and ensuring food safety. This measure is intended to prevent illegal transportation and sale of low-quality products, as well as increase the legal literacy of entrepreneurs and residents. The health of every citizen is the main wealth of the state. Therefore, such events are being systematically carried out not only at the district level, but also throughout the republic. Adhering to the principle that "prevention is better than cure," the law enforcement and supervisory bodies of the Karatau district will continue their work in this direction in the future.
Environmental education for young people: an event was held at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Shymkent as part of the Clean Kazakhstan program. 21.09.2025
On September 21, 2025, an important event was held in Shymkent aimed at promoting environmental awareness, fostering a spirit of hard work, and fostering a caring attitude toward the environment. The event took place at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School and was organized with the participation of officers from the Karatau and Al-Farabi district police departments of Shymkent, including senior environmental inspectors from the local police units. The main goal of the event was to promote the key objectives of the Clean Kazakhstan state program, namely: raising the level of environmental awareness among the younger generation; fostering a caring attitude towards nature; developing a habit of hard work and responsible behavior in society; Explaining to schoolchildren the importance of each citizen's personal contribution to maintaining the cleanliness of the city and country. The Clean Kazakhstan program was initiated to unite the efforts of the state, society, and every citizen of the country on environmental issues. In the face of global climate challenges and growing urbanization, the task of increasing environmental awareness among young people is of strategic importance. Police officers delivered a lecture to the students, detailing environmental protection regulations and penalties for violations. They emphasized that environmental pollution, illegal tree felling, damage to green spaces, and littering in unauthorized areas are punishable by administrative fines and disciplinary action. The police emphasized that the role of law enforcement is not only to punish but also to prevent crime. Working with children and adolescents is a crucial part of this work, as they are the ones who develop environmental habits that last a lifetime. During the meeting, schoolchildren were given practical advice on how they can contribute to environmental conservation in their everyday lives. These included: respectful attitude towards the school grounds and one’s own yard; proper sorting of household waste; participation in greening and cleaning campaigns in urban areas; rational use of water and electricity; promoting environmental values among friends and family. The students listened with interest to the inspectors' presentations, asked questions, and shared their thoughts and suggestions for improving the environmental situation in their hometown. A key element of the event was the distribution of special information leaflets among schoolchildren. These leaflets outline the key provisions of the Clean Kazakhstan program, waste disposal rules, resource conservation recommendations, and citizens' primary responsibilities for protecting the environment in an accessible and concise manner. These materials help reinforce acquired knowledge and remind students of the need to respect nature in their everyday lives. The campaign placed special emphasis on fostering a spirit of hard work. The organizers emphasized that caring for the environment is directly linked to a responsible and hardworking approach to life. A person who keeps their street, yard, and city clean shows respect not only for nature but also for the work of others. Fostering a spirit of hard work in young people is an important part of the national goal of developing active, responsible, and conscientious citizens. The administration of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School supported the initiative and noted that ecology plays an important role in the educational programs. Teachers regularly teach lessons and extracurricular activities on environmental protection, organize cleanup days, and tree planting campaigns. The event, held jointly with the police, became an important element of this process, demonstrating to children that government agencies, society, and educational institutions work together towards a common goal – maintaining a clean and healthy living environment. The Shymkent campaign demonstrated that the "Clean Kazakhstan" program is not limited to local cleanups and addressing everyday environmental issues. It is aimed at a long-term strategy for cultivating environmentally conscious and hardworking citizens. The educational talks and handouts will help schoolchildren better understand the importance of personal involvement in environmental initiatives. Similar events are planned for future use in other city schools, reaching as many children and adolescents as possible. Thus, the event, which took place on September 21, 2025, at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Shymkent with the participation of police officers, became a vivid example of how state programs can be effectively implemented through educational institutions. Fostering environmental awareness, respect for nature, and a spirit of hard work is not a one-time event, but a systematic effort that requires constant attention and effort. The success of this work depends on the collaboration between the government, schools, and families. "Clean Kazakhstan" is not just a program but also a philosophy of responsible engagement with the country's future. Educating young people in the spirit of environmental stewardship and respect for labor is key to Kazakhstan's development as a modern, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible nation.
