Today, we are opening the railway station in the village of Zhanakorgan after reconstruction. Over 1 billion tenge was allocated for its modernization. The facility covers 8,838 square meters, and its capacity is up to 121 passengers per day. During the renovation, the building's façade and foundation were renovated, the roof, doors, and windows were replaced, new utility lines and a heating system were installed, and the platform area was landscaped. The station is equipped with modern equipment and fully complies with current quality standards.
The station in Shieli has also opened, and the station in the Kazaly District will be opened tomorrow after reconstruction. "I am confident that every passenger and tourist visiting our region will appreciate the level of service and comfort of the renovated facilities",- the regional governor emphasized.
Deputy Minister of Transport Zhanibek Tayzhanov and veteran of labor Saulebek Kalybayev also spoke at the ceremony. Rail industry workers and representatives of contractors were awarded Letters of Appreciation from the regional akim.
