"Providing the rural population with the necessary infrastructure is one of the main tasks. We provide gas to the villages as much as the budget allows. In two years, more than 90 settlements are connected to natural gas. In Turkestan region, the problem of more than 40 gas facilities that have been idle for years has been solved, and "bearded structures" have been put in order. We will not stop working in this direction. I urge local residents to keep the village clean, take an active part in the improvement of the settlement," Darkhan Satybaldy said.
