On August 20, an important event was held in Shymkent to maintain cleanliness and public order. Several trucks that were dumping garbage indiscriminately and coming to dump garbage were detained on the extension of Al-Farabi Street. Appropriate measures were taken against citizens and representatives of enterprises who, ignoring environmental protection requirements, dumped waste in unauthorized places. The vehicles that violated the order were charged, and the owner of the land plot was also held accountable. He was taken to the district internal affairs department and ordered to give an explanation.

This incident clearly shows that the issue of cleanliness in the city is not limited to Saturday activities, but is also subject to systematic control at the legal level. In recent years, many activities have been undertaken in Shymkent to form an ecological culture. However, some residents and business owners ignore the law and, with their actions, spoil the image of the city and pose a threat to the health of residents.

To prevent such situations, joint work between the city administration and law enforcement agencies is a must. The purpose of special raids is not only to impose fines, but first of all to increase environmental responsibility among residents. Only when every citizen understands that he is responsible for the cleanliness of his city will such violations decrease.

If we look at history, similar raids related to cleanliness have been carried out in Shymkent before. For example, in 2018–2019, several times in the city, trucks and private business owners were administratively fined for dumping garbage in unauthorized places. At that time, the fines were often small, which did not serve as a significant deterrent to violators. However, in recent years, the legislation has been tightened, the amount of fines has increased, and the practice of parking the vehicle is being used as a real warning to violators.

Nowadays, the issue of cleanliness is very important not only for beautification, but also for the safety of residents. After all, carelessly dumped garbage causes the spread of various infections, creates conditions for the reproduction of insects and rodents. And this, especially in the summer months, poses a sanitary threat. Therefore, this measure, taken on August 20, was an important step towards maintaining the ecological stability of the city.

The incident also drew attention to the problem of improper use of land plots. Some landowners are leaving their plots unattended and turning them into illegal garbage dumps. Strictly preventing such actions is an integral part of order and culture in the city. It was announced that inspections in this direction will be intensified in the future, and all those responsible will be prosecuted under the law.

City residents should not remain indifferent to such illegalities. Every citizen can contribute to the common cause by reporting to the relevant institutions if they see garbage lying in the open or dumped in unauthorized places. This will create the understanding in society that "cleanliness is a common cause."

Compared to previous years, the current raids are more frequent and effective. Previously, such inspections were carried out only at certain periods, but today they are becoming more permanent. This step is aimed at increasing the responsibility of city residents and reducing the number of violators.

Shymkent is a large metropolis with a million inhabitants. Maintaining order and cleanliness in such a city is not easy. However, thanks to the systematic work of the akimat and municipal institutions, strict police control, and most importantly, the active attitude of residents, there is every chance to keep the city clean and comfortable.

The raid on August 20 once again proved that it is not enough to participate in the cleanliness campaign alone, but that every citizen must obey the law and contribute to public order. I am confident that these measures will continue in the future and will eradicate the problem of littering in the city.

In conclusion, cleaning in Shymkent should not be just a one-day event, but a daily way of life. Today's raid is one of the concrete steps in this direction. If we all feel responsible and take care of nature, we have every chance to make our city truly clean, beautiful and comfortable.
