Work continues in Shymkent to return to state ownership land plots that were illegally acquired or used independently after the expiration of the contract. A clear example of this is the situation with the land plot in the territory of the "Ken Baba" park located in the city center. This issue attracted public attention and was finally put to rest by a court decision.

"Ken Baba" Park is a favorite recreation area not only for Shymkent residents, but also for city guests. The object of historical and cultural significance serves as a public space accessible to residents. However, in recent years, a certain plot of land within the park has been used for private business purposes.

The said plot was temporarily leased to the Almaty-Sapar LLC partnership. According to the official contract, the land was leased for the creation of a center for the aesthetic and cultural education of children and adolescents. This purpose is planned to meet the social needs of the city's residents and bring benefits to society.

However, despite the expiration of the lease term, the land plot was not vacated and was being used illegally. Moreover, it was found that the actual purpose of use did not comply with the requirements specified in the original contract. This situation caused concern among local authorities and city residents.

Due to the identified violations, the Shymkent city administration went to court. As a result, during the consideration of the case in the specialized inter-district economic court, a legal examination of all documents was conducted.

In accordance with the requirements of the City Land Relations Department, the court found that the use of the leased plot was illegal and declared the title documents issued to Almaty-Sapar LLP invalid .

Thus, the decision regarding the land plot located at 68/1 G. Ilyaev Street in the Al-Farabi district entered into legal force. This decision prevented the entrepreneur from further using the land.

After the court decision, concrete work was undertaken to return the land to state ownership. Currently, work is underway to demolish illegally constructed structures and restore the land to its original state in the Ken Baba Park.

Public utilities and contractors are working according to plan to completely clear the park of illegal construction in the shortest possible time. The main goal is to reopen the public space for residents and restore its original ecological and cultural significance.

This situation has shown how important it is to preserve public spaces and strictly enforce land laws. Every piece of land is a valuable resource that should serve the public good. If it is illegally used for private gain, city residents will be deprived of public spaces.

Returning the land to the state is not only a restoration of justice, but also a step towards the ecological and cultural development of the city. After the complete liberation of the "Ken Baba" park, new recreation areas, sports and cultural facilities will be located here, which will allow to improve the quality of life of the city's residents.

The City Land Relations Department is conducting systematic work to prevent illegal land use. As a result of special inspections, dozens of violations have been identified, and lawsuits have been filed against most of them.

In some cases, there are cases where people use the land independently, even after the lease term has expired. Such actions are considered illegal and must be resolved through administrative or judicial means.

Authorities emphasize that these measures are not directed against business. The rights of entrepreneurs who comply with the law will be protected. However, any illegal actions will not be tolerated.

The activity of city residents also contributed to this. Public control is an effective mechanism for timely detection of violations of the law.

The Akimat and the Prosecutor's Office urge residents to immediately report any illegal construction or unauthorized land use. Such complaints will be considered within the framework of the law and appropriate measures will be taken.

The activity of citizens who are not indifferent to the life of the city is the guarantee of the further development and prosperity of Shymkent.

The return of the land plot in the "Ken Baba" park to state ownership is a tangible result of the ongoing work to restore law and order in the city of Shymkent.

• The court declared the documents submitted to Almaty-Sapar LLP invalid;

• Demolition of illegally constructed structures has begun;

• The land will be returned to the state and the park will be offered back to the residents.

This incident showed that any illegal action ultimately leads to responsibility. The earth is our common wealth. Its effective and legal use is the main task of today's and future generations.

The Shymkent City Administration and the Land Relations Department announced that they will continue to make efforts to create accessible, clean, and comfortable public spaces for city residents.
