Akmola region is famous for its vast hunting grounds, the total area of ​​which is 12 million 343 thousand hectares. 161 hunting farms operate on the territory of 12 million 114 thousand hectares. Today, of which 10 million. 278 thousand hectares are actively operated by 139 farms under the control of 82 legal entities and individuals of various forms of ownership.In winter, wild animals experience particular difficulties due to the lack of natural food. To support the animal population, hunting farms collect the necessary food and prepare for the winter in advance. This is an important and responsible work that requires careful planning and effort.With the onset of cold weather, feeding work has begun to provide animals with the necessary nutrients. For this purpose, specially equipped feeding areas are provided with:- salt necessary for strengthening the health of animals;- grain and grass rich in energy and nutrients;- willow leaves from tree branches, which serve as an additional source of feed.Such measures help to maintain a stable wildlife population, especially in conditions of harsh winters and limited natural food. It should be noted that feeding wildlife is not only a matter of caring for nature, but also the task of every hunting farm aimed at maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance. Thanks to such efforts, the hunting grounds of the Akmola region retain their richness and allow you to admire the diversity of the wildlife of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/928163

Kazakhstan will receive 11 billion cubic meters of water by April. The Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nurzhan Nurzhigitov agreed on this.The 88th meeting of the Interstate Water Management Coordination Commission (ICWC) of Central Asia was held in Dushanbe. The meeting was attended by the heads of water management departments of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.The parties considered the progress of the inter-vegetation period in the basins of the Syrdarya and Amu Darya rivers.It should be noted that the agreed volume of water will flow through the Syrdarya River to the Shardara reservoir in the Turkestan region. Of this, 1.6 billion cubic meters of water will be discharged into the Aral Sea.“This will allow us to collect the volume of water required for the irrigation period this year, as well as to implement measures to preserve the ecosystem in the southern regions of Kazakhstan. I note that the situation in the south of our country is different from the west and north. There have been no large-scale floods here. And in the summer, the demand for irrigation water is very high. That is why we are carrying out completely different work on providing water to the south. Water diplomacy is an important direction of our ministry's work. As a result of these negotiations, last year we achieved a stable water supply for the south of the country. We will resolve all issues related to water distribution and protection of transboundary water bodies together with our colleagues in the countries of Central Asia," said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/water/press/news/details/927334

Work has begun on installing temporary fences to increase passenger safety at Almaty metro stations.“During the design of existing stations, the regulatory documents regulating the construction of metro facilities did not provide for the installation of automatic sliding doors on platforms. Changes to these documents were made only in 2022. We thought about how to organize this process from the point of view of ensuring passenger safety. This requires a systematic approach, therefore, the installation of platform fences is currently provided for at stations under construction and being designed,” said Almasbek Orynbekov, director of the Almaty metro.The fences are installed to limit the space between cars and are carried out at the expense of the metro’s operating costs, that is, budget funds are not involved. This is a temporary solution aimed at increasing passenger safety, which will be used until permanent platform doors (screen doors) are installed.“Currently, we continue to install temporary separation structures between cars, and are also carrying out a set of test measures. On the Internet, I saw a photo where one of the sections was displaced relative to the inter-car space when the train stopped. I would like to clarify that this episode is also part of the testing process. Such cases are carefully analyzed. The work process does not stop - engineers synchronize the installation work with multi-stage checks to ensure the system’s operation,” the director of the Metropolitan continued.According to him, first, stainless steel supports are installed, and then impact-resistant tempered glass railings are attached to them. These works are planned to be completed soon.“Installing automated platform railings takes a long time, since it requires design, feasibility study, financing, as well as public procurement procedures. In this regard, temporary metal railings are being installed for the safety of passengers,” Almasbek Orynbekov concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/927915

Reconstruction work on the building of the N. Sats Russian State Academic Theater for Children and Youth will begin soon in Almaty. The reconstruction project has passed state expertise, and the city administration has announced a competition to determine the contractor organization that will carry out the construction work. The Almaty Construction Department explained what solutions are provided for in the project and why 21.7 billion tenge has been allocated for its implementation. “The building was built in the 1980s and has never undergone major repairs since then. The theater team has repeatedly drawn public attention to the poor condition of the building. After appealing to the city akim, he gave an order to reconstruct the facility of great importance for the metropolis. During the technical examination, it was revealed that the equipment, engineering networks, roof, facade panels and interior finishing works are significantly worn out. Water flowing from the roof reaches the stage and auditorium, facade panels have fallen, posing a danger to pedestrians, and old electrical wiring poses a fire hazard. Currently, the building does not meet safety requirements and has lost its aesthetic appearance,” said the head of the department Almas Shabdarbayev. The reconstruction project was widely discussed among public representatives and experts. According to the project, the supporting structures will be strengthened, the roof and facade panels will be replaced, and all engineering communications will be updated. The building will be equipped with a fully automatic fire extinguishing system. In addition, theater equipment, stage, and lighting will be completely updated, the aisles between the seats will be expanded, and comfortable conditions will be created for people with disabilities. “Since the building is a historical and cultural monument of local significance, special attention was paid to the restoration and preservation of its architectural elements. For example, according to the original project, the historical appearance of the floor covering of the hall and the mosaic in the lobby of the building will also be restored,” said the head of the department.All of these works will be carried out as part of the reconstruction of the existing building with an area of ​​​​14.6 thousand square meters.In addition, a new three-story building with an area of ​​​​10 thousand square meters will be built nearby. The new building will house a 200-seat stage, make-up rooms, rooms for workshops and shops, warehouses for storing scenery, offices for artistic directors, a training stage for a children's theater studio and classrooms. The two buildings will be connected by a gallery passage.The theater is not an office building, therefore it requires the installation of special technical systems, such as lighting equipment, sound equipment, ventilation and air conditioning systems, stages with scenery mechanisms. Installing acoustics and lighting is one of the most complex works. The theater is a place where a large load is placed on the structure and equipment, so the equipment must meet strict standards, which ensures the safety of actors, technical staff and spectators. "If we look at the structure of the allocated funds, about 6 billion tenge is needed to fully equip the two buildings with modern equipment. 6 billion tenge is allocated for the reconstruction of the existing building and about 9 billion tenge for the construction of a new building. In addition, a gallery connecting the two buildings will be built, external networks will be replaced, and landscaping and beautification of the adjacent territory will be carried out. "This is a large-scale project, and after completion, we can confidently say that the theater will become a popular place for residents in the eastern part of the city," said Almas Shabdarbayev. It should be noted that the reconstruction of the main building is planned to be completed by the end of this year, and the full completion of the project is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
