Gasification of the Bozaryk microdistrict: the beginning of long-awaited changes The supply of natural gas has begun in the Bozaryk microdistrict of the Karatau district, where about 10,000 people live. Akim of Shymkent Gabit Syzdykbekov, together with local residents, held a solemn ceremony of launching gas, which became an important milestone in the gasification of the city. The construction of the gas pipeline here began in 2023, and the first stage has been completed: 627 houses have been connected. This event allows residents not only to provide their homes with heat, but also to significantly improve the environmental situation in the area. QUOTE: "Gasification is an important element of the city's development,– said the akim of Shymkent. "It not only improves the environment, but also makes the life of citizens more comfortable." Syzdykbekov also stressed the importance of observing safety rules when using gas and appealed to residents to take a responsible approach to the operation of new equipment. For the residents of Bozaryk, this event has become a real holiday. According to Bakhtygul Sagynbaeva, a resident of the neighborhood, they have been waiting for this moment for four years. QUOTE: "Now our house will be warm and cozy, it's an amazing feeling!" she shared her impressions. People hope that gasification will not only reduce heating costs, but also make life in the neighborhood more comfortable. It should be noted that over the past week, Bozaryk has become the second major settlement in Shymkent to receive natural gas. Last weekend, residents of the Kaynarbulak settlement received the opportunity to connect to natural gas. Previously, like Bozaryk, it was considered a country estate, but now, thanks to the development of infrastructure, residents can use the central gas supply. The second stage of Bozaryk gasification is planned to be completed by the end of the year, connecting another 700 houses. In addition, gasification will continue in other districts of Shymkent, such as Yntymak-2, Tassai and Karatobe, which will allow even more residents to access natural gas. Kaynarbulak: gasification improves the quality of life for more than 60,000 residents Gas supply has also started in the Kaynarbulak microdistrict, which has become a significant event for its residents. On October 31, the mayor of the city, Gabit Syzdykbekov, officially opened the supply of natural gas, to which 60% of houses in the area have already received access. The remaining 40% is planned to be connected by the end of November. The authorities urged residents to promptly apply for connection, noting that the process will be transparent and without delay. The gasification project in Kaynarbulak started several years ago, but faced difficulties and delays. Before the connection, residents were forced to use liquefied gas, coal and firewood, which was not only laborious, but also less safe. The construction of the gas pipeline began in 2022 as part of a large-scale Shymkent gasification program, the purpose of which is to provide all neighborhoods with stable and environmentally friendly fuel. However, the project faced a number of problems, including a slowdown in work on individual sites and the lack of efficiency of contractors, which raised questions from local residents. Nevertheless, the city authorities assured that all obstacles have been overcome and the connection will be completed on time. Gasification will not only facilitate the life of local residents, but also have a positive impact on the environment by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and pollutants into the atmosphere. Large-scale Shymkent gasification program The gasification of the Bozaryk and Kaynarbulak neighborhoods is part of a broader project aimed at improving gas supply throughout Shymkent. In the coming months, the neighborhoods of Yntymak-2, Tassai and Karatobe will also be provided with natural gas. Shymkent authorities strive to provide blue fuel to all remote settlements, solving the problem of energy shortages and increasing the comfort of life for citizens. Shymkent gasification is carried out within the framework of a state program aimed at developing infrastructure and improving the quality of life in the city. Switching to natural gas reduces the consumption of coal and firewood, which reduces the level of air pollution. This environmentally friendly type of fuel makes home heating more affordable and economical, which is especially important for large cities with dense buildings. In the long term, the Shymkent authorities plan to complete the gasification of all residential areas, which will be an important step in the development of urban infrastructure and environmental sustainability. As representatives of the city administration emphasize, such projects can improve the standard of living of the population, creating comfortable living conditions and ensuring stable energy supply.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/shymkent/press/news/details/879084
