More than 1,300 units of special equipment and over 2,500 road workers have started clearing snow from the streets in Astana during the day shift. Snow removal work is carried out in shifts around the clock due to heavy rainfall, the official website of the capital's akimat reports.Over the past night from November 14 to November 15, more than 27 thousand cubic meters of snow were removed from the capital, which is the volume of 2,136 thousand heavy trucks.Since the beginning of the winter period, over 267 thousand cubic meters of snow have been delivered to snow ranges by more than 21 thousand flights.First of all, according to the rules, areas with very heavy traffic are cleared so that there is no congestion on the roads. Also, areas with medium intensity are being removed from snow — squares, forecourts, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.Cleaning on central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is also a priority.There are several equipped snow ranges in the city.

Within the framework of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which is taking place in Baku, Kazakhstan announced the launch of the country's first "green" resort. The project, located in the picturesque Akkol district of Akmola region, aims to create a sustainable tourism infrastructure that meets international environmental standards.One of the first stages of the ambitious project was the launch of the Wyndham Residences Aqkol hotel, which opened its doors to guests in 2023. This is not just a hotel, but an object that takes into account the highest standards of environmental sustainability. During its construction, "green" design and passive construction methods were used, including energy-saving technologies and a water filtration system, which significantly reduces energy consumption and minimizes environmental impact.In addition, the resort actively supports the local economy by purchasing products from farmers in the region, which helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by reducing transportation costs. This approach also helps to stimulate the growth of small and medium-sized businesses in the area, providing additional income and jobs for local residents.The Wyndham Residences Aqkol Hotel is already participating in the UN Global Initiative for Sustainable Development, which underlines the importance of the project in the international arena. But this is just the beginning: as part of the next stage of the project, a complete transition to renewable energy sources is planned, which will make the resort completely environmentally friendly and reduce its carbon footprint.In addition, the next phase of the project is focused on creating new jobs in the village and actively involving the local population in the development of the resort. This will significantly improve the standard of living in the region and ensure a constant workflow throughout the year, which in turn will lead to an increase in the quality of service.One of the most important aspects of the project is the innovative investment model proposed by the company "TӦRE", which acts as the developer and investor of the resort. Instead of traditional government subsidies, the project assumes a model in which the state will provide a refund through tax revenues from the project within 10 years. This approach increases the responsibility of business to the state and ensures more efficient use of budget funds."An important feature of our projects is the replacement of traditional sources with alternative infrastructure. We propose to change the paradigm of state support. Instead of subsidies, there is an investment model that not only guarantees a refund, but also stimulates economic growth and creates new jobs," said Yerbolat Zhaksylykov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the TӦRE company.The implementation of projects such as the resort in the Akkol district underlines Kazakhstan's desire to become an active player on the world stage in solving climate problems. The creation of an environmentally sustainable infrastructure in tourism is an example of how innovative and environmentally responsible approaches can lead to sustainable development.In turn, the TӦRE company is confident that this project will not only allow the transition to year-round operation of remote tour facilities, but also significantly improve the quality of service due to the constant recruitment of qualified personnel. This, in turn, will create additional tax revenues and will be an important contribution to the development of the country's tourism industry.Thus, the implementation of the first "green" resort in Kazakhstan will be an important step towards the development of environmentally friendly tourism and the country's transition to a "green" economy, demonstrating that sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions are possible even in such a resource-intensive sector as tourism.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/883765

The autumn draft continues in the region, during which a mandatory health check of conscripts is carried out. Qualified specialists from the city and regional medical commissions carefully assess the health status of young people who are subject to military service. Doctors work under the guidance of the regional health department, which provided the recruitment campaign with modern diagnostic equipment.For a more accurate assessment of the health status of each recruit, the regional akimat purchased the latest medical equipment for military enlistment offices. Among the new acquisitions are an ultrasound machine, an ophthalmological device, an ENT harvester and a dermatoscope. This equipment allows doctors to more effectively identify diseases that may become an obstacle to military service.If during the examination there is a need for additional diagnostics, recruits are sent to polyclinics and hospitals in the region for more in-depth examinations.Conscripts undergo a mandatory medical examination, which includes a wide range of tests and examinations. Mandatory procedures include a general blood and urine test, electrocardiography, echocardiography, fluorography, as well as ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity and kidneys. For citizens working in agriculture or having livestock in their personal household, a blood test for brucellosis is carried out.Special attention is paid to information received from medical institutions about the health status of conscripts. Data on chronic diseases are checked, as well as the results of preventive medical examinations.In addition, drug testing and HIV testing are carried out at regional assembly points where military units are enrolled, which provides additional security measures for future military personnel.A medical examination is an important stage in preparing for conscription, and its conduct at a high level helps to strengthen the country's defense capability and preserve the health of future soldiers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/883752
