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.
