The event was attended by employees of the party's city and district branches , activists from the youth wing of "Zhastar Rukhy," and city utility workers . More than 50 people participated in the event, which took place in the Karatau district , divided into groups to work in assigned areas.

The main objective of the campaign was to collect trash , mow and remove weeds , and tidy up shrubs and trees . Participants worked hard, clearing scattered trash and fallen branches, placing waste in specially prepared bags for subsequent removal to the city landfill.

The "Clean Thursday" campaign demonstrated that the joint efforts of citizens and public organizations can significantly improve the city's environmental situation and appearance . This day became a shining example of how residents can contribute to maintaining cleanliness and order while respecting the environment.

The organizers noted that such events should be held regularly, as a clean city is an indicator of the responsibility and culture of its residents . During the event, participants not only cleaned up trash but also helped maintain green spaces, tidying up shrubs and trees, significantly improving the visual appearance of the area.

To increase the effectiveness of the work, each participant was assigned a designated area for which they were responsible. This approach allowed for a coordinated effort and ensured the highest quality results. Each group meticulously cleaned their own area, significantly improving the sanitary conditions of the Karatau district in a short period of time.

One of the activists of the youth wing of "Zhastar Ruhi" noted:
"Today, we didn't just clean up trash; we contributed to the city's improvement. Events like these help foster environmental awareness among young people and instill a sense of responsibility for the environment," he said.

Public utility workers also actively participated, sharing their expertise on proper waste collection, landscaping, and maintaining the sanitary condition of streets and squares . Their professional skills contributed to the more effective implementation of the campaign and the rapid achievement of significant results.

The main goal of such events is not only to improve the city's appearance but also to instill in residents habits of law-abiding and environmentally responsible behavior , as well as a respectful attitude toward nature and green spaces. "Clean Thursday" is not a one-time event, but an opportunity to demonstrate the personal responsibility of each resident for the city's condition and its improvement.

During the event, participants also learned practical skills such as waste sorting, green space maintenance, and public space improvement . These skills will help maintain order in the city's neighborhoods and foster a sustainable environmental culture among the population.

Representatives of the Karatau district administration also participated in the event. They worked with residents to clean up the area, assist with garbage collection, and landscaping green spaces. The administration's support improved the event's organization and effectiveness, and set an example for residents.

Upon completion of the event, all participants received certificates of appreciation, and their contribution to the city's improvement was highly commended. It was emphasized that keeping the city clean is a daily responsibility of every resident , not a one-time event. Regular events contribute to maintaining sanitary conditions, strengthening environmental awareness, and raising public awareness.

As a result of the campaign , streets, squares, parks, and public gardens , as well as other public gathering places, were cleaned. Weeds were mown down, and shrubs and trees were tidied up. This not only improved the city's appearance but also enhanced the quality of life for its residents, making the area more comfortable and pleasant for walking and relaxing.
