On September 9, 2025, a comprehensive series of events were held in Shymkent aimed at improving natural features, strengthening utility infrastructure, and creating a more comfortable urban environment. The work covered the city's key waterways—the Badam and Koshkar-Ata rivers, as well as the Kausar Canal. All of these facilities play a vital role in the city's ecological system and in providing residents with water, green spaces, and comfortable public spaces. The Badam River is one of Shymkent's main rivers, maintaining its ecological balance and serving as a strategic source of water for the city's water system. On this day, work was carried out in three sections simultaneously – the second, third, and fourth stages. The main goal of the work was to strengthen the bankline, preventing erosion and reducing the risk of flooding during flood periods. Specialists are using both concrete blocks and natural materials, ensuring the durability and stability of the structure. The project also includes landscaping the surrounding area, including planting trees and shrubs and creating green areas along the banks. Thus, the river stabilization measures not only serve a protective function but also contribute to the greening of the city, improving its ecological appearance. The Koshkar-Ata River holds special significance for Shymkent: it's not just a body of water, but a historical and cultural landmark, a favorite recreation spot for both residents and tourists. Therefore, maintaining its cleanliness and well-maintained condition is a priority for the city's program. On September 9, work on the first and second stages was underway. Extensive riverbed cleanup activities were carried out: excess vegetation was mown, bottom sediment was removed, and household waste was removed. Improvements were also carried out on the banks: pedestrian paths were repaired and maintained, and new benches were installed for recreation. All this makes the river not only safe but also attractive for walks and leisure. Along with major rivers, attention is also paid to the city's irrigation system. The Kausar Canal is one of the most important elements of this system; its condition determines the water supply to green spaces and agricultural lands located near Shymkent. Currently, work has been completed in the first and second stages. Part of the canal was cleared, culverts were adjusted, and the riverbed was improved. These measures are directly linked to the development of the urban ecosystem, as water from the canal is used to irrigate parks, squares, and street plantings. Maintaining the canal in good condition promotes the growth of greenery and the creation of a comfortable urban environment. All events are coordinated by the city's "Zhaily Orta" department, which is responsible for landscaping, greening, and environmental development in Shymkent. The department's main goal is to create conditions for a clean, safe, and comfortable life for city residents. According to experts, maintaining rivers, canals, and green spaces is not a one-time initiative, but an ongoing, systematic effort. Regular activities not only improve the environmental situation but also enhance residents' comfort. When rivers are clean, their banks are fortified, and canals are maintained, the risk of natural disasters is reduced and the city is more resilient to climate change. Community participation remains a key aspect of such projects. The "Zhaily Orta" administration repeatedly emphasizes that maintaining cleanliness and order in the city is only possible through the joint efforts of the government and the public. Therefore, residents are encouraged to respect nature, avoid polluting water bodies, and participate in environmental campaigns and cleanup days. In recent years, Shymkent has seen a growing environmental awareness. Mass tree planting and courtyard and park cleanup events are increasingly common. These initiatives are not only a practical contribution to urban improvement but also an important factor in fostering public responsibility. The work carried out on September 9 is only part of a large-scale program to develop the city's infrastructure. Plans call for all stages of the Badam River fortification to be completed by the end of 2025, significantly reducing the risk of flooding and inundation. For the Koshkar-Ata, plans call for an expanded recreation area and the construction of new playgrounds for residents and visitors. As for the Kausar Canal, plans call for the implementation of new engineering solutions to improve water quality and optimize its distribution. Thus, in the coming years, Shymkent residents will have safer and more comfortable spaces for living and recreation. The events held on September 9, 2025, demonstrated a high level of organization and a systematic approach to environmental and public welfare issues. The work on the Badam and Qoshqar-Ata rivers, as well as the Kausar Canal, made a significant contribution to improving the urban environment. These actions have a dual significance: they strengthen the city's engineering defenses while simultaneously making it cleaner, more beautiful, and more livable. The "Zhaily Orta" administration stated that it will continue to pay attention to every detail—from the condition of water bodies to the quality of public spaces. For Shymkent, such projects are not only a concern for the present but also an investment in the future: an environmentally sustainable, green, and comfortable metropolis that is pleasant to live in and a source of pride.

On September 9, 2025, a number of important works were carried out in the city of Shymkent to improve natural facilities and develop infrastructure. The city's "Comfortable Environment" department, in accordance with the daily plan, carries out systematic activities on rivers and canals, as well as in public spaces, contributing to the creation of a favorable environment for residents. The Badam River is one of the main water sources of Shymkent and an important object in maintaining ecological balance. On September 9, work was actively carried out to strengthen the banks of the river at stages 2, 3 and 4. These measures are aimed at ensuring the stability of the riverbed and preventing the danger of flooding. Special concrete blocks and natural materials will be used to strengthen the banks. In addition, it is planned to plant greenery and greenery in areas near the water body. The Koshkar-Ata River is a historical and cultural landmark of the city. Keeping this river clean and beautiful, which is considered one of the favorite recreation areas for residents and guests of the city, is one of the main tasks of the akimat. On this day, work was carried out to clean the water channel of the Koshkar-Ata River in stages 1 and 2. Activities included mowing excess grass, removing sediment from the bottom of the water, and collecting garbage from the banks. In addition, during the improvement work, pedestrian paths were arranged and benches were installed in recreation areas. These works are aimed at making the riverside area environmentally safe and attractive. One of the irrigation systems in the city is the Kausar Canal. Work has been carried out here in stages 1 and 2. The water supply systems along the canal have been put in order, and measures have been taken to clean the canal. Improving the condition of the Kausar Canal will directly affect both agriculture and landscaping work within the city. Because the water from the canal is used to irrigate green areas. Therefore, the systematic implementation of work in this direction will have a positive impact on the overall environmental condition of the city. The "Comfortable Environment" Department is a structure that constantly carries out comprehensive work to ensure the cleanliness and comfort of the city of Shymkent. The main goal of the Department is to improve the city, expand green areas, improve the condition of water channels, and increase environmental culture. The work carried out on September 9 also met these goals. The department's specialists noted that maintaining the cleanliness of rivers and canals is necessary not only for the sake of ecology, but also to improve the quality of life of city residents. The improvement of water channels not only prevents flooding, but also aesthetically enhances the beauty of the city. The effectiveness of such events depends not only on the work of state bodies, but also on the support of city residents. Therefore, the "Zhaylyi Erta" department calls on residents to take care of the environment, protect rivers and lakes from garbage, and actively participate in Sabbaths. In recent years, various actions, Saturdays, and tree planting campaigns aimed at developing an ecological culture have been held in Shymkent. These initiatives increase the responsibility of the population and strengthen love for the city. In accordance with the general urban development program, work will continue on rivers and canals in stages in the future. It is planned that all stages of the Badam River will be fully completed by the end of 2025. Additional improvement projects will be considered along the Koshkar-Ata River and modern recreation areas will be built. New engineering solutions will also be introduced into the Kausar Canal, and special attention will be paid to improving water quality. The work carried out in Shymkent on September 9, 2025, was an important step towards improving the environmental condition of the city and improving the quality of life of residents. The activities on the Badam and Koshkar-Ata rivers, as well as on the Kausar Canal, are evidence of the systematic attention paid to the city. The Shymkent akimat and the "Zhaylyi Orta" department announced that they will continue to make efforts to create a safe, clean and comfortable environment for residents. Work in this direction will continue.

They make them understand that environmental protection is the responsibility of every resident, not just government agencies. Ecological culture is a reflection of a developed society. The Shymkent Sembilik festival was a reason for this culture to rise to a new level. The city's residents once again proved that it is the duty of every citizen to treat nature with compassion and contribute to the beautification of their native land. The city administration noted that such measures will continue systematically. In the future, it is planned to not only hold more frequent clean-up events, but also organize regular cleaning campaigns in each district of the city. In addition, various explanatory activities will be carried out in schools, colleges, and universities to promote environmental culture. This initiative is aimed at instilling responsibility for nature protection in the younger generation. The city-wide clean-up event held on September 6 showed that Shymkent is a city of true unity and organization. The participation of thousands of residents in a common cause is a clear proof of the growing awareness of environmental responsibility. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign was not only an important step for the city in environmental terms, but also once again proved that unity and mutual support are at a high level in society.

On September 7, 2025, lighting installation along the bike path and pedestrian area on Baidybek Bi Avenue in the Shymkent City microdistrict was completed. 124 modern lighting poles were installed, making the area safer, more comfortable, and more attractive for city residents. Previously, the bike path and sidewalk were commissioned without proper lighting. Despite this, they were actively used by residents: young people rode bicycles and scooters, parents took walks with their children, and older residents chose the alley for morning and evening strolls. However, the lack of lighting at night created certain inconveniences and even safety risks. Now, thanks to the installed streetlights, the situation has changed dramatically. In the evening and at night, the road section is illuminated evenly, allowing cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers to feel more confident. Lighting is not only a convenience but also a crucial safety feature. According to experts, well-lit streets reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents and help prevent crime. This is especially true for new neighborhoods in the city, where populations are rapidly growing and traffic is increasing. The Shymkent administration is systematically developing sports and pedestrian infrastructure. Bike paths are becoming an integral part of the urban environment. Cycling and active outdoor walks are not only an accessible form of physical activity but also an important element of a healthy lifestyle. Modern research shows that regular cycling strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. For children, it's a great alternative to spending too much time on gadgets, and for adults, it's a low-cost way to stay physically fit. Creating comfortable conditions for outdoor sports is directly linked to the goals of national programs to build a healthy nation. This is why Shymkent places great emphasis not only on the construction of sports complexes but also on the development of courtyard, street, and cycling infrastructure. Equally important, the popularization of cycling has a positive impact on the city's environment. Bicycles emit no exhaust fumes, create no noise pollution, and take up less space on roads and in parking lots. For Shymkent, where the number of cars is growing annually, developing a cycling culture is becoming a strategic priority. The more residents choose cycling as an alternative mode of transport for short trips, the cleaner and safer the city's air will be. The installed lighting poles are equipped with energy-saving lamps and a modern power supply system. According to specialists, the new luminaires are durable, energy-efficient, and provide high illumination. This will reduce the burden on the city budget and ensure the stable operation of the system in the long term. Maintenance and regular monitoring of the equipment are also provided. In the event of malfunctions, prompt repairs will be carried out, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the lighting. Local residents greeted the news of the completion of the lighting installation with enthusiasm. A resident of the Aigul Zh. microdistrict shared: "We often come here for walks with the kids. It used to be uncomfortable in the dark, and we had to go home early. Now it's bright and safe, the kids can ride longer, and we feel more at ease." And student Arman, who uses a bicycle every day, noted: "This bike path has been a real godsend for us. Now I can ride safely in the evenings after school. I hope similar projects will appear in other parts of the city." The installation of lighting on Baidybek Bi Avenue is part of a comprehensive improvement program for Shymkent. In recent years, the city has been rapidly developing: new parks, alleys, and sports grounds are being built, roads are being repaired, and modern residential areas are being constructed. Particular attention is paid to creating a comfortable environment for living and recreation. City authorities emphasize that the administration's goal is to make Shymkent a modern metropolis where every resident feels safe and has the opportunity to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Thus, the installation of 124 lighting poles along the bike path and sidewalk on Baydibek Bi Avenue is not just a technical innovation, but an important step toward creating a modern, safe, and environmentally friendly urban environment. The new facility has become a clear example of how infrastructure solutions can impact residents' quality of life. Residents of the Shymkent City microdistrict can now use the bike path and pedestrian area at any time of day, enjoying walks and sports. The city administration is confident that such projects strengthen citizen trust and foster a culture of responsible ownership of their city. Shymkent is moving toward becoming one of the most convenient and environmentally friendly cities in the country, and the development of cycling infrastructure plays a vital role in this process.

On September 7, 2025 , 124 modern light poles were installed on the bicycle lane on Baidibek Bi Avenue, located in the Shymkent City microdistrict of Shymkent. This innovation has become an important event for residents. Because now the bicycle lane and pedestrian areas will be convenient and safe to use not only during the day, but also at night. In recent years, the city administration has been paying special attention to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the development of mass sports, and the use of environmentally friendly means of transport. A bicycle is not only a sports tool, but also a convenient means of transport in a modern city. Therefore, the construction of bicycle paths and their lighting are one of the main directions of infrastructure projects in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue was put into operation last year. At that time, residents and guests of the city welcomed this initiative with great joy. However, the issue of lighting has long been relevant. The darkness of the road posed a certain danger, especially for citizens who went for an evening walk or cycling at night. Now this problem has been completely resolved. The installed 124 light poles are equipped with modern energy-saving technologies. These lights: has a long-term use; allows you to save energy; Provides sufficient light levels without causing eye damage; Works effectively in various weather conditions. In addition, the design of the new lights also meets modern standards. This will not only beautify the city's appearance, but also improve the quality of the overall infrastructure. The lighting of the pedestrian and bicycle paths will allow residents to actively relax even in the evening. This is especially a great joy for residents who have made it a habit to take walks with their families. As representatives of the city's cycling association noted, the installation of traffic lights will not only ensure safety, but also help attract more people to an active lifestyle. Because a safe environment is a factor that directly affects people's regular participation in sports. Comfortable and safe bicycle paths also contribute to the development of a traffic culture in the city. Previously, some cyclists were forced to share the road with cars after dark. This, in turn, increased the risk of traffic accidents. Now, the lighting of the bicycle path has reduced this risk and created favorable conditions for all traffic participants. In addition, this initiative encourages the frequent use of environmentally friendly transport - bicycles. The development of an environmentally friendly, affordable mode of transport is part of the sustainable development strategy of the Shymkent akimat. The city administration pays special attention to the development of mass sports. In recent years, new sports grounds, outdoor fitness areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths have been built and put into operation in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a place that not only improves health for residents, but also allows them to spend their free time effectively. Cycling and running are becoming a habit, especially among young people. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the ecological situation of the city. The city's residents are expressing warm comments about the installation of new lights. Photos and videos posted on social media show residents' joy. Many support this initiative and express confidence that work on lighting other streets and bike paths will continue. The city administration plans to continue implementing infrastructure projects systematically in the future. In particular, measures aimed at ensuring public safety will be in focus. A special plan has been developed in Shymkent to build new bicycle paths, repair existing roads, and expand lighting. At the same time, the city authorities will continue to hold various events, cycling tours, and sports festivals to encourage residents to participate in mass sports. All of these events will not only improve the health of residents, but also revitalize the social life of the city. The lighting of the bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a big step towards the safety and comfort of city residents. This project is a clear demonstration of Shymkent's development as a modern metropolis. The bicycle path and pedestrian path, equipped with 124 light poles, will provide residents with comfortable conditions for evening walks, sports, and spending time in the fresh air. Such measures taken by the city administration will undoubtedly continue in the future.

On September 6, 2025, Shymkent held its latest citywide cleanup day. This traditional environmental campaign brought together employees from all city agencies: public utilities, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, as well as representatives from various departments and agencies. The main goal of the event was to improve the city's sanitary conditions, beautify public spaces, and foster environmental awareness among the population. Among the active participants in the cleanup day was the staff of the Shymkent City Land Relations Department. This department was assigned a separate section of the site, where employees carried out a range of sanitary cleanup activities. Particular attention was paid to removing household waste, cleaning sidewalks and roadside areas, and tidying up public spaces used daily by city residents. The Department's staff participated in the cleanup day in full force, demonstrating a high level of collective discipline and social responsibility. Through their joint efforts, they set an example of caring for the environment and emphasized the importance of each person's personal contribution to the cleanliness and well-being of the city. During the cleanup, special attention was paid to the condition of irrigation systems. The Land Relations Department organized cleaning of ditches and canals that provide water to green spaces. Timely cleaning of irrigation canals ensures uninterrupted water supply, prevents blockages, and improves the urban environment. Thus, the employees' efforts were not limited to simply removing trash. Their contribution to maintaining the irrigation systems is directly linked to the preservation and development of the city's green spaces. The event organizers emphasized that the citywide cleanup day is not only practical but also educational. The participation of government officials, including the Land Relations Department, is aimed at instilling in the population the habit of keeping public spaces clean and caring for the environment. During the event, department staff called on city residents to maintain order not only during cleanup days but also in their everyday lives. They emphasized that a clean city begins with each resident's yard, and environmental awareness is formed through simple habits—not littering, cleaning up after yourself, and preserving green spaces. The Head of the Land Relations Department noted that participation in the cleanup day is an important step toward strengthening team spirit and cohesion. He explained that such events help employees demonstrate social activism, increase their sense of responsibility, and simultaneously make a tangible contribution to the city's improvement. "We believe that cleanliness and order are the hallmarks of any metropolis. How Shymkent is seen by visitors and perceived by residents depends on us. Therefore, participating in cleanup days is not a formality, but our civic duty," the director emphasized. The department's staff also addressed the city's residents with an open appeal: "The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. If every resident maintains order in their home, yard, or workplace, Shymkent's overall appearance will become even more attractive." According to them, cleanup days should not be viewed as a one-off event, but as part of an overall city development strategy. A responsible attitude toward the environment not only contributes to improvements in the environment but also improves quality of life. As a result of the cleanup, several tons of household waste were collected and removed from the city. Sidewalks, courtyards, roadside areas, and irrigation canals were cleared. Green spaces received additional care. Local utility services ensured the timely removal of collected waste, and residents received a clear example of how, through joint efforts, the city can be made cleaner. The Shymkent mayor's office announced that such events will be held regularly. The main goal is not only to restore order but also to engage residents in fostering a culture of cleanliness and responsibility. The citywide cleanup event held on September 6, 2025, was a shining example of collaboration between city agencies and the active participation of Land Relations Department staff. The department's staff made a significant contribution to the city's sanitary conditions by cleaning the assigned area and irrigation systems. Initiatives like these demonstrate that cleanliness and order in the metropolis depend on the joint efforts of the government and the public. The example of the department's staff underscores that sustainable results can only be achieved through the personal involvement of each individual. Today, Shymkent is a dynamically developing metropolis, and caring for its appearance, sanitation, and the environment should be a priority for all residents. Cleanup days are becoming an integral part of this process, uniting people around a common goal: to create a clean, well-maintained, and livable city.

On September 6, 2025, another city-wide cleanup was held in Shymkent. All departments and institutions under the city administration, as well as employees of the education, healthcare, culture and communal services sectors, actively participated in this cleanup. Employees of the Shymkent City Land Relations Department also contributed to the large-scale event aimed at cleaning and improving the city. Employees of the Land Relations Department were assigned a specific area in the city, where they carried out sanitary cleaning work. During the weekend, employees collected garbage, loaded household waste into special garbage trucks, and contributed to improving the ecological condition of the area. Special attention was paid to the cleanliness of busy streets and recreation areas. During the weekend, the department's employees not only collected garbage, but also cleaned the irrigation systems. Timely cleaning of the ditches and ditches that supply water to the city's greenery and trees will ensure their proper functioning. This, in turn, will improve the city's ecology and contribute to creating a comfortable environment for residents. The main goal of such clean-up days is not only to carry out cleaning work, but also to form an ecological culture in society. Employees of the Land Relations Department, by their example, called on city residents to take care of nature and maintain cleanliness in public places. According to employees, if every citizen keeps his yard clean, the ecology of the city will also improve significantly. The head of the Land Relations Department emphasized the importance of collective solidarity and responsibility during the weekend.

As a result of the general clean-up, about a ton of garbage was removed from the city, many ditches were cleaned. Green flags were maintained, and public places were put in order. According to the Shymkent city administration, such clean-ups will continue in the future.

The employees of the Land Relations Department set an example with their honest work in the territory assigned to them, conveying to society the importance of cleanliness and order. Shymkent is a large metropolis that is becoming more and more beautiful every day. Its appearance and cleanliness depend on the responsibility of each resident. That is why the city administration often holds such Saturdays and calls on residents to be active. Love and responsibility for the city are the duty of every citizen.
