August 30, 2025 , Shymkent – Improving living conditions and ensuring safety near the Koshkar Ata River became a pressing issue for residents of the Telman microdistrict in the Abay district. Local veterans proposed installing floodgates on the river to address potential flooding and improve embankment safety. This issue had been troubling residents of the microdistrict for several years, and finally, taking their suggestions into account, local authorities began addressing it. The Koshkar Ata River is not only an important natural landmark but also a potential threat to residents during heavy rains or snowmelt, when the water level can rise sharply. This has led to frequent flooding in areas near the river, raising concerns among residents. Therefore, neighborhood veterans proposed installing floodgates to regulate the water level and prevent potential flooding. The residents' initiative was heard, and local authorities began implementing the proposed idea. As a result, floodgates were installed in the necessary locations, which will not only help control water levels but also prevent flooding of adjacent areas. These measures will significantly improve residents' safety and make their lives more comfortable and secure. The process of installing sluice gates in the Qoshqar Ata River area was complex and required a precise approach. Sluice gates play a vital role in regulating water levels, especially during the rainy season or during snowmelt, when sudden river rises are possible. Installing such structures will ensure more stable operation of drainage systems and prevent flood risks. These measures will not only reduce the risk of flooding but also make the area safer to live in. The Telman microdistrict is home to many families, and safety is an important aspect of their lives. The installation of floodgates will provide additional protection from natural disasters and improve overall safety on the river. Remarkably, the floodgate installation project was the result of close collaboration between local authorities and neighborhood residents. Importantly, residents not only put forward suggestions for improving living conditions but also actively participated in the project's discussion and implementation. Citizen engagement was key to this project, making the solution more effective and taking into account the interests of local residents. At meetings with residents, project issues and nuances were discussed, and awareness-raising efforts were conducted on the importance of these measures. This not only enabled the implementation of a solution that met residents' needs but also created an atmosphere of mutual understanding and cooperation. The installation of the sluice gates is just one step in a broader process to improve infrastructure in the Abay and Telman neighborhoods. Further improvements to the area are planned, including upgrading the water supply, improving road conditions, and creating new public recreational and leisure areas. Local authorities are actively working to create comfortable living conditions. Future projects include improvements to parks, playgrounds, and public transportation, which in turn will contribute to the development of the district's social and economic potential. Importantly, all these changes are being implemented with the active participation of residents, making them more tangible and effective. The project to install sluice gates on the Qoshqar Ata River has not only practical but also environmental significance. Monitoring the river's water level will help prevent pollution of areas and water bodies, reduce risks to flora and fauna, and ensure clean and safe water resources. This will also improve the overall ecology of the area and enhance quality of life. Moreover, such projects enhance social stability by providing safer living conditions and creating additional opportunities for recreation and social interaction for residents. The implementation of such initiatives strengthens trust between authorities and citizens, improving community interaction. The project to install floodgates on the Qoshqar Ata River in the Telman microdistrict is a shining example of how effective collaboration between local authorities and residents can lead to tangible improvements in city life. Importantly, such initiatives not only address specific problems but also contribute to the creation of a safer and more comfortable urban environment. Further improvements to the district's infrastructure are planned, and these steps will contribute to a better quality of life for all Shymkent residents. Cooperation, active citizen participation, and timely measures to modernize the city's infrastructure will make Shymkent an even more modern and livable city.

August 30, 2025 , Shymkent — Veterans of the Telman microdistrict of the Abay district turned to local authorities with their proposals and demands. Residents suggested the need to install locks on the banks of the Koshkar Ata river. This issue was of great importance for residents, since the condition and safety of the riverbank directly affects their daily lives. The riverside can always be dangerous, especially during floods or rising river levels. In this regard, their proposal was soon supported by local authorities. The Koshkar Ata River, along with its natural beauty, must also ensure the safety and daily life of its residents. Due to its specifics, the banks of this river often suffer from flooding, especially during the rainy season. Veterans and local residents, as well as the district akimat, are concerned about this issue and have proposed taking additional measures to protect the river banks. They have initiated the installation of sluices in certain places along the river to prevent flooding. Sluices are structures designed to control river levels and prevent flooding. This proposal was immediately accepted, and the necessary work began. As a result, sluices were installed on the banks of the Koshkar Ata River, which allowed regulating the river level and preventing coastal flooding. In addition, these measures improved the ecological condition of the river and increased the safety of local residents. The installation of locks was an important step in improving the condition of the riverbank. This measure will control the level of the river, ensuring that it dries up in the summer and does not flood in the winter. Additional structures are aimed only at maintaining the ecological balance, without harming the natural system of the river. This innovation was a great help for residents. Especially during the rainy season or when snow melts, the river level could often rise and flood nearby houses and gardens. Sluices are an effective tool to prevent such disasters. In addition, as a result of this measure, additional landscaping works were carried out on the riverbank, which did not change the natural landscape and increased the beauty of the city. One of the main requirements of residents is to ensure safety and comfort. People living in the Telman microdistrict of Abay district experience this problem in their daily lives. As you know, the banks of the Koshkar Ata River are expanding, and its ecological condition and safety are one of the most important issues for the residents of the district. The installation of floodgates will not only prevent flooding, but also help preserve the nature and ecology of the riverbanks and protect people's health. In addition, it is planned to create safe recreation areas for residents along the river, install sports fields. This will also improve the quality of life of residents and allow them to have a good time in the public environment. This work is not limited to improving the condition of the riverbank. A number of other important projects are being implemented to improve the infrastructure of the district. Taking into account the opinions and suggestions of residents and veterans, the district akimat plans to undertake additional infrastructure work. These include repairing roads, upgrading drinking water systems, building playgrounds, and improving the public transport system. The cooperation of local authorities and residents plays a big role in this. Measures such as the installation of locks not only improve the riverbank, but also improve the ecological and social condition of the area as a whole. All these works are aimed at creating a comfortable environment for residents, and all residents support these changes. The installation of gateways in the Telman microdistrict of the Abay district of Shymkent is the result of effective cooperation between residents and the authorities. These measures, implemented in response to the suggestions and problems of residents, have made a significant contribution to improving the city's infrastructure. In turn, such initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of life and ensuring the safety of the population. This is not only a unique project, but also a good example of cooperation between society and authorities. In the future, many more infrastructure projects will be implemented based on the requests and suggestions of the district residents.

The problem has been ongoing for several years, and several steps have been taken to resolve it, but a final solution still requires time and effort from all stakeholders. The Miras microdistrict is one of Shymkent's largest residential areas, home to a large number of people. However, due to outdated infrastructure and underdeveloped utilities, the area faces significant water and sewerage issues. Sewage problems in the area have remained unresolved for several years, causing inconvenience and anxiety among local residents. Sewage pipes and systems built decades ago do not meet modern requirements. This leads to frequent system failures, leaks, environmental pollution, and poor sanitary conditions for residents of the area. Furthermore, many new residential buildings and properties constructed in recent years were not connected to the centralized system, exacerbating the problem. Resolving the sewerage problem in the Miras microdistrict requires the involvement of multiple agencies and organizations. Several public and private organizations are actively working on this issue in Shymkent. Specifically, the following are involved: The Passenger Transport and Highways Department oversees work related to the reconstruction and modernization of infrastructure, including water supply.

All responsible authorities understand the importance of a timely resolution of this issue and are making every effort to provide residents with comfortable living conditions as quickly as possible. To successfully resolve the sewerage problem in the Miras neighborhood, cooperation between all stakeholders is essential. This requires coordination among various agencies and authorities, including the land management department, the city water and sewerage services, contractors, and local authorities. Community engagement by local residents, who must support initiatives and participate in the organization of the work, also plays a vital role in this process. One of the most important steps in solving the sewerage problem is establishing a clear and effective system for monitoring and controlling the progress of work. This will avoid delays and disruptions during the project and ensure the high-quality execution of all necessary measures. Resolving the sewerage problem in the Miras neighborhood is an important step toward improving the lives of residents. Shymkent authorities are doing everything possible to address this issue and create comfortable conditions for residents.

The city is taking appropriate measures to address this issue, but due to its complexity, the problem has not been fully resolved. The issue of the sewage system in the Miras microdistrict has not been resolved for several years.

August 29, 2025 , Shymkent — Systematic work to clear unauthorized dumps and maintain sanitary conditions in the city continues in Shymkent. As part of this work, the Al-Farabi District administration has identified areas where waste is frequently dumped and is undertaking cleanup and restoration efforts. The goal of these works is not only to improve the city's environmental situation but also to enhance the quality of life for its residents. These activities are carried out daily and are constantly monitored by the relevant services. Furthermore, in addition to cleaning the area, landscaping, installation of information signs, and planting of greenery are also being carried out in some areas. Waste removal operations involve several key stages. First, the area is surveyed to identify waste accumulation sites, including those dumped illegally. After this, waste removal and cleanup are carried out using specialized equipment and professional workers. These works are carried out not only to remove waste but also to create favorable living conditions for residents and improve the environmental situation in the area. At the same time, landscaping and improvement work is being carried out in some areas, which includes planting new plants and trees, as well as maintaining existing ones. As part of this work, new waste bins and containers were also installed, which facilitates proper waste disposal and maintains cleanliness in public areas. An important part of the cleanup effort is active outreach to the public. The Al-Farabi District Administration conducts regular information campaigns aimed at raising awareness among residents about the importance of maintaining cleanliness in the city and the environmental responsibility of every citizen. One of the key elements of these events is the installation of signs informing residents not to dump trash in certain areas. Work is also underway with local residents, explaining the importance of not only keeping their neighborhoods clean but also actively participating in the improvement of their neighborhoods. Furthermore, special attention is being paid to the legal aspect of the issue. If unauthorized waste dumping is detected in the district, administrative measures will be taken. These measures may include fines and other penalties for those violating waste management regulations. Despite ongoing work, illegal dumping remains one of the most pressing problems in cities, including Shymkent. This is due to several factors, including a lack of proper oversight, a shortage of waste collection containers, and citizens' failure to comply with waste disposal regulations. Local residents sometimes leave trash in unauthorized places, which exacerbates the problem. Furthermore, it's not always possible to properly monitor such areas, especially in remote areas of the city where access to specialized cleaning equipment is limited. However, the Al-Farabi administration is actively working to address these issues, providing residents with the necessary means for proper waste disposal and introducing additional measures to eliminate unauthorized dumps. In addition to clearing the area of waste, these events also include landscaping. In some areas, after the area has been cleared of waste, it is replanted with new trees, shrubs, and plants. This not only improves the city's appearance but also contributes to a cleaner environment in the area. Along with landscaping, it's important to maintain the condition of existing trees and shrubs. The Al-Farabi District administration actively maintains green spaces, conducting regular pruning and watering. This helps maintain not only the city's appearance but also the health of the plants. One of the key aspects of the cleanup effort is preventing re-contamination. To this end, infrastructure improvements and citizen engagement are underway. Additional waste collection containers are planned for the near future in areas with high levels of contamination, which will help residents dispose of their waste properly and reduce the likelihood of new landfills being created. In addition, environmental education efforts will continue with local residents. It's important for everyone to understand their responsibility for maintaining cleanliness in their neighborhood. The district administration is preparing additional events aimed at promoting environmental awareness and educating the public on proper waste management. The work to clear waste from areas and improve the environmental situation in Shymkent is an important step toward creating a clean, green, and healthy city. A key aspect of this work is the active participation of residents, especially young people, in various environmental events, such as community cleanups and community service events. The process of clearing unauthorized dumps from the area won't end with just removing the waste. It will continue with the creation of effective waste collection infrastructure, improved environmental education among the population, and the implementation of additional environmental initiatives. These measures will not only improve the city's appearance but also create conditions for Shymkent's sustainable and healthy development. Only through joint efforts can we achieve significant results in matters of ecology and cleanliness, as well as improve the quality of life for all city residents.

That is, measures such as maintaining green spaces, landscaping courtyards, and installing additional garbage collection points are being implemented. Another important area of work carried out to ensure the cleanliness of the district is landscaping. During this work, special benches and park areas appeared in some places. In addition, to prevent residents from littering, warning signs were installed prohibiting littering in designated areas. These warning signs not only warn residents against illegal waste disposal, but also explain the importance of keeping the environment clean. Maintaining cleanliness in public places and not disturbing it is interpreted as the civic duty of every citizen. An important part of the city's cleanliness is explanatory work with residents. This work is carried out regularly in the Al-Farabi district. Meetings and seminars are organized to form an ecological culture among residents, explain the issues of garbage disposal, and convey the importance of cleanliness. Such events encourage residents to feel responsible and pay attention to the cleanliness of their place of residence. It is important to influence the consciousness of the population through explanatory work on cleanliness and ecology, ensuring that they do not remain indifferent to these issues. Administrative measures are also being considered against those who litter in the Al-Farabi district. In order to stop illegal dumping of garbage, the issue of bringing residents and entrepreneurs to administrative responsibility is being considered, and the relevant authorities are obliged to intensify their work in this direction. Residents should understand that not only they themselves, but also the people around them are responsible for maintaining cleanliness. All these measures are aimed at raising the culture of city residents and changing their attitude towards environmental issues. Cleaning works will improve not only the appearance of the city, but also the quality of life within it. Continuing the cleaning work carried out in the Al-Farabi district is not only an improvement in the environmental situation, but also a way to improve the quality of life of residents and encourage city residents to be more careful about the environment.

On this day, thousands of residents took to the streets to clean up areas across Shymkent. Particular attention was paid to areas such as parks, streets, courtyards of apartment buildings, and coastal areas. For young people, participating in such events is not only an opportunity to contribute to the city's development but also a chance to set a role model for others, demonstrating the importance of caring for nature and maintaining order in their city. Thus, the cleanup day has become a valuable practice for fostering environmental awareness among the younger generation. Shymkent is a city youth organization that actively participates in the city's life and helps address its pressing issues. During the cleanup day, volunteers from Shymkent became true leaders, demonstrating initiative in cleanup efforts. They worked in parks, on streets, and near public buildings, collecting trash, cleaning areas, and improving the city's appearance. These actions set an important example for other youth organizations and citizens. Young people actively participated in waste separation and organized cleanups along rivers and lakes, demonstrating their high awareness of environmental and sustainable development issues. All participants felt a sense of responsibility for preserving the environment and maintaining the city's ecology. The event wasn't limited to just garbage collection. An important part of the work was educating residents about the importance of maintaining cleanliness and protecting the environment. During the cleanup, informational brochures were distributed and discussions were held with local residents about the importance of maintaining ecological balance, sorting waste, conserving resources, and caring for their city. Volunteers not only performed physical labor but also helped disseminate environmental information among local residents, so they understood the importance of such events. It's important for everyone to understand their role in keeping the city clean. Only through joint efforts can we create a favorable living environment and ensure the city's sustainable development in the future. Young people's participation in cleanup days isn't just about cleaning up the area; it's also an important way to foster civic awareness. Such events foster a sense of responsibility for the community and strengthen intergenerational ties. Young people, by actively participating in city cleanup days, set an example for the older generation and demonstrate the importance of being concerned about environmental and urban issues. These actions also demonstrate the importance of collaboration between various social groups in the city. Volunteers, municipal services, and ordinary citizens are all united by a single goal: to make their city cleaner and more comfortable. Furthermore, these cleanup days help improve social interaction between different generations of city residents. By participating in these events, young people become more active and contribute to creating a comfortable and healthy living environment. Shymkent increasingly demonstrates its commitment to sustainable development and environmental principles each year. The entire world is facing environmental challenges today, and city initiatives like cleanup days demonstrate the importance of every resident's contribution to solving these problems. This cleanup day not only contributes to the city's cleanliness but also sets an example for other countries of how youth activism can address environmental issues at the local level. Shymkent's example can serve as an inspiration for other cities to also engage young people in addressing environmental and sustainable development issues. This once again underscores that keeping a city clean is the shared responsibility of all its residents. Shymkent is a dynamically developing metropolis, and to ensure its sustainable growth, it's essential to continue supporting such initiatives. Participating in cleanup days not only improves the urban environment but also strengthens civic awareness. This is an important step toward making Shymkent an even greener, more beautiful, and more livable city. Events like this cleanup are essential components of the city's successful and harmonious development. Citizens, united by a common goal, were able to demonstrate their contribution to creating a clean and healthy environment. And these efforts will certainly bear fruit in the future. The cleanup day in Shymkent, with its active participation by young people, was an important step in strengthening civic awareness and love for their hometown. Shymkent volunteers, like other participants, set an example of the importance of caring for one's surroundings and how even small efforts can change the city's appearance. City cleanup days not only improve the environment but also strengthen connections between people, creating a space for interaction and collaboration.

August 23, 2025 , Shymkent — today a large-scale cleaning event took place in our city. In addition to city residents , Shymkent youth volunteers actively participated in this city-wide cleanup, demonstrating their civic responsibility and love for the environment. The participation of young people in the cleaning work organized in the Al-Farabi district not only improved the beauty of the city, but also contributed to the formation of an ecological culture among young people. The citywide cleanup is not limited to cleaning activities, but is an event aimed at increasing the responsibility of city residents towards environmental issues. The goal is to preserve the city's natural resources, clean up polluted areas, and improve the overall environmental situation. As part of this Sabbath, large-scale cleaning work was carried out in several areas of the Al-Farabi district, including parks and along the streets. In particular, old garbage was removed and garbage on the roadsides was cleaned with the help of special equipment. In addition, tree care, weeding, and landscaping of roads were also carried out. The participation of Shymkala's volunteer youth made this Saturday special. The voluntary work of these young people is a great example for the city's residents. For young people who care about the future of Shymkent, such Saturdays are not limited to cleaning work, but also play an important role in increasing love for the city and forming a civic position. The participation of young volunteers is important in order to draw public attention to environmental issues. They did not limit themselves to collecting garbage, but called on residents not to be indifferent to environmental protection issues. With their activity and hard work, young people demonstrated their contribution to the cleanliness of the city, contributing to the formation of a high level of environmental culture among the younger generation. The significance of city clean-ups is not limited to cleaning activities. They are also aimed at important issues such as improving the city's ecology, protecting greenery, and maintaining air quality. The participation of Shymkent's youth has given impetus to these activities and paved the way for increased responsibility in society for the purpose of protecting the environment. In addition, the impact of the Sabbath on the consciousness of city residents is very important. Each cleaning event helps residents understand the importance of caring for the environment. Environmental problems concern not only government agencies, but also every citizen. The attitude of young people to environmental problems and their participation in solving them encourages society to treat nature with care. The active participation of Shymkala youth volunteers is a great contribution to the development of environmental education among young people. By organizing such Sabbaths, a culture of environmental protection is formed among adolescents and young people, who treat their environment not only as consumers, but also as guardians. Youth participation in these events is an effective way to build environmental awareness and responsibility in the city. These events allow for the active involvement of society in solving environmental problems and to teach the younger generation about such responsibility. The city-wide clean-up drives and the activities of Shymkent's volunteer youth are very important events aimed at improving the city's environmental situation. These cleaning activities are an important step towards making the city cleaner and more attractive. In addition, the active participation of young people in environmental issues will help them become responsible citizens in society in the future. This clean-up drive in the Al-Farabi district was not limited to cleanliness alone, but also called on society to protect nature and not be indifferent to environmental issues. Cleanliness is not only a beautification of the city, but also an important step in developing environmental awareness and culture. The participation of young people in such clean-ups and the example they leave for future generations play an important role in shaping today's environmental culture. We urge all residents of the city to pay attention to environmental issues, because making Shymkent a clean and green city is the responsibility of each of us.

August 27, 2025 – The process of expropriating land plots for state needs as part of major infrastructure projects continues in Shymkent. Since the beginning of 2025, 254 land plots have been expropriated, as part of a systematic effort to improve the city's infrastructure. This process includes compensation to owners or the provision of alternative plots, which is carried out in accordance with the law. By the end of 2025, Shymkent plans to continue land acquisition for a number of important infrastructure projects that will contribute to the city's development and improve the living conditions of its residents. In recent years, Shymkent has been actively pursuing land acquisition for various projects, including road construction, residential complexes, and social facilities. As part of this process, land owners are compensated or offered alternative plots of equal value. To date, 207 plots, totaling 116.7 hectares, have been expropriated and compensated for 5.1 billion tenge . These funds were paid to the owners as compensation for the expropriation. In addition to financial compensation, government agencies offered owners 31 plots of land to exchange for equivalent plots, and six plots were returned to state ownership by agreement with the owners, who voluntarily renounced their rights to the land. Three plots were also returned based on court decisions, the result of legal disputes between government agencies and landowners. The courts also ordered the return of seven plots totaling 57.24 hectares , saving the state nearly 500 million tenge . The expropriated land plots are being used to implement the city's most important infrastructure projects. Key projects involving the expropriated land include: Extension of Konayev Avenue (Stage 5) This is a critical project for improving the city's transportation infrastructure. As part of the Konayev Avenue extension , 270 land plots were expropriated, 248 of which received compensation. This project is designed to significantly improve transportation connections and make travel within the city more convenient. The A-2 highway in the Turansky district This is a project to build a bypass road that will cross the Badam River and reach the Kazygurt district. As part of this project, 80 land plots are being expropriated, and 23 owners have already been compensated. This road will significantly improve logistics and connections between the city's most important transport arteries. Extension of S.Baiterekova Street A key project for expanding transportation routes in the southern part of the city. The extension of S. Bayterekova Street from Y. Altynsarin Street to the Turan district covers 56 land plots , 33 of which have been compensated. This will improve transportation in the district and ease traffic congestion during rush hour. Construction of a stadium in the Karatau district, block 223 In this area, 191 land plots were expropriated for the stadium's construction, 174 of which were compensated, and six plots were exchanged for equivalent plots. This project is designed to improve the infrastructure of sports facilities and provide new sports opportunities for local residents. The process of land seizure is always accompanied by complex legal procedures. In Shymkent, the primary focus is on respecting the rights of owners and ensuring transparency in the actions of government agencies. It is important to note that by law, government agencies are obligated to provide compensation for the seized plots or offer the owners comparable land. Furthermore, land seizure proceedings also demonstrate the importance of maintaining legal discipline and making decisions within the law. The courts, in turn, play a vital role in establishing justice and protecting the interests of all parties. The process of expropriating land plots for state needs is nothing new in Shymkent. However, in recent years, this process has accelerated significantly and become more systematic. In 2019, for example, a residential complex construction project was launched that required the expropriation of several plots of land. At that time, compensation amounted to approximately 3 billion tenge, and the process itself took much longer. Furthermore, last year, Shymkent faced several problems with compensation for expropriated land. Some owners demanded higher payments, and in some cases, they had to resort to court to protect their interests. However, in 2025, the process became smoother thanks to improved legislative procedures and better interaction between government agencies and citizens. The acquisition of land for public use is an important part of urban infrastructure development, and in Shymkent this process is gradually and systematically improving. City authorities strive to minimize the social impact on residents by offering compensation and alternative sites. Timely and appropriate regulation of these processes contributes to improving the quality of life for local residents and the efficient use of land resources for the creation of public facilities. Thus, Shymkent continues to move towards the efficient use of its land resources for development, which will contribute to the city's sustainable growth in the future.

August 27, 2025 , Shymkent — In recent years, as part of the infrastructure projects being implemented in the city, land plots have been systematically returned to the state for state needs. These measures are important for the strategic development plans of the city and the country's economic growth. Since the beginning of 2025, 254 land plots have been forcibly expropriated and returned to the state for use in the city's infrastructure and social projects. In Shymkent, the return of land plots for state needs is being carried out legally, and mutual agreements are being established between residents and the state. This process was carried out through the payment of compensation or the provision of an alternative plot of land. In the first half of 2025, 254 land plots were returned to the state for state needs in Shymkent. Their total area is 116.7 hectares. The state paid compensation for these lands in the amount of 5.1 billion tenge. The majority of the returned land plots are intended for the construction of important infrastructure facilities for the city. These projects include the construction of roads, social facilities, parks and sports fields. Phase 5 of Kunayev Avenue The extension of Kunayev Avenue is an important project for the development of Shymkent's transport infrastructure. For this, 270 land plots were taken for state needs, 248 of which were returned through compensation. This project will contribute to improving the city's transport system and developing the city center. A-2 highway in Turan district Compensation was paid for 23 of the 80 land plots intended for the construction of a bypass road from the Badam River to the Kazygurt microdistrict, and residents returned their land. This road project is an important highway connecting the southern part of Shymkent, which will increase the efficiency of urban transport. Continuation of S. Baiterekov Street The extension of S. Baiterekov Street is being built in the area from Y. Altynsarin Street and Almaty Highway to Turan microdistrict. For this, 33 out of 56 plots were returned to state ownership through compensation. This project is being implemented with the aim of strengthening the city's transport system and increasing logistics efficiency. Construction of a stadium in Karatau district, block 223 In the 223rd block of Karatau district, 174 of the 191 land plots were returned through compensation, and 6 were returned with land plots of equal value for the construction of a stadium. This project is being implemented with the aim of providing sports opportunities for the city's residents. By court decision, several land plots were returned to state ownership, including 7 land plots with an area of 57.24 hectares . These plots will be used for construction and development in accordance with state needs. In addition, these decisions allowed the budget to save additional funds - a total of 500 million tenge was saved. Land plots returned through the courts are very important for state needs, as they have a significant impact on the development of social infrastructure and the public transport system. In addition, legislative work continues on the return of 30 land plots to the state without compensation. This process is carried out in accordance with specific legal requirements, and each case is considered individually. The basis of the lands returned without compensation is land intended for state projects, which are essential for the development of the city's infrastructure. When returning land plots to the state, special attention was paid to negotiations with residents. Mutual agreements between the state and residents provided for compensation, provision of alternative land plots, or other favorable conditions. This process was aimed at achieving convenient and fair solutions for residents. The work on the return of land plots, which is being carried out for the development of the city's infrastructure projects and the construction of new facilities, is aimed at preserving the interests of residents without affecting their social situation. The systematic implementation of land restitution for state needs in Shymkent is an important contribution to the development of the city's infrastructure. These measures are important for improving the quality of life of city residents and developing the transport system. And the methods of paying compensation, providing land of equal value, or returning it through the courts are a fair system that protects the interests of residents and allows for further development. The scale and scope of Shymkent's infrastructure projects will play a major role in the development of the city, and the results of these works will contribute to making the city more comfortable and modern in the future.

On August 27, 2025, a briefing was held in Shymkent, where city authorities presented information on the large-scale land acquisition process for state needs. According to the city administration, 254 plots have been returned to state ownership since the beginning of this year. This process is part of the city's overall development strategy and is necessary for the implementation of a number of important infrastructure projects. City officials noted that the land seizure is being carried out strictly within the law. The primary focus is ensuring that property rights are not infringed. Most citizens received monetary compensation, and some were offered equivalent plots. Thus, 207 owners received a total of over five billion tenge for 116.7 hectares of land. In 31 cases, the owners were provided with new plots to replace the ones seized, another six citizens voluntarily relinquished their plots, and three plots, totaling 11.3 hectares, were returned to the state by court order. Seven cases involved lands totaling 57.24 hectares, which were also seized by court orders, but without compensation. This measure saved the budget approximately 500 million tenge. The majority of the returned land is related to major transport and social infrastructure projects. These include the continued construction of the fifth phase of Kunayev Avenue, where 248 of the 270 plots were expropriated. An equally important project is the A-2 highway, which will connect the Badam River and the bypass road in the Kazygurt microdistrict, where compensation is being processed for the owners of 23 of the 80 plots. As part of the Bayterekova Street extension, 33 of the 56 land plots were transferred to the state. In the Karatau District, a stadium is being built in the 223rd block, and 174 owners have received compensation for this project, while another six have agreed to equivalent land plots. In the Abay District, 23 of the 24 plots were expropriated for the renovation of Yusupova, Tamshylybulak, Zhana Qonys, and Izendi Streets. Land expropriation for state needs has been ongoing in Shymkent for several years. Similar measures have been taken before, but in previous years, the process was often accompanied by complaints about a lack of awareness among residents and long compensation payment deadlines. For example, in 2022, land expropriation was carried out during the construction of the previous stages of Kunayev Avenue, and many residents expressed dissatisfaction with the protracted procedures. In 2023, the process affected the A-2 highway, and in some cases, issues were resolved in court. The current situation demonstrates greater openness and transparency. The authorities strive to inform owners in advance, explain the payment procedures in detail, and publish data in official sources. Since 2024, the city has implemented a more precise land valuation system, which has reduced the number of conflicts. Although land acquisition is always a sensitive issue and evokes emotional reactions from citizens, it generally plays a positive role in the city's development. New roads are designed to relieve traffic congestion, sports and social facilities create conditions for active leisure and improve the quality of life for residents, and renovated streets make city districts more modern and comfortable to live in. At the same time, authorities emphasize that they strive to find the optimal solution in each case, whether it be monetary compensation, an equivalent plot of land, or a phased court hearing. In the coming months, approximately thirty more land seizure cases are planned to be completed, with the lands being returned to the state without compensation. In most cases, these are vacant or illegally occupied lands. This approach not only saves budget funds but also ensures more efficient use of urban areas. Shymkent is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and the issue of efficient land allocation is particularly important here. As residential areas expand and new schools, kindergartens, medical centers, and sports facilities are built, the demand for land will only increase. Therefore, the authorities view the current land acquisition campaign not as a one-off measure, but as a systematic effort that will form the basis for the city's sustainable development in the future. Thus, the seizure of more than 250 land plots in 2025 has become a logical step in the city's development. Unlike previous years, the process is more transparent, open, and fully procedural. This has reduced conflicts, strengthened public trust, and made the process more civilized. Ultimately, Shymkent gains new opportunities for growth, while residents gain modern infrastructure, convenient roads, and comfortable living conditions.

At a briefing in Shymkent on August 27, 2025, the city administration provided extensive information on the process of expropriating land plots for state needs. This work has become one of the most relevant areas of urban development in recent years. As the metropolis grows rapidly and the need for road and transport infrastructure and social facilities increases, it is becoming a natural phenomenon that certain territories are returned to state ownership for the implementation of new projects. Since the beginning of 2025, 254 land plots have been returned to the state for state needs in Shymkent. Of these, 207 land plots with a total area of 116.7 hectares were paid compensation in the amount of 5.1 billion tenge. This is a clear evidence of protecting the legal rights of residents and ensuring mutual understanding between the state and citizens. In addition, the owners of 31 land plots were offered land of equal value, 6 plot owners voluntarily refused, and 3 plots were returned by court decision. In addition, 7 land plots with a total area of 57.24 hectares were transferred to state ownership without compensation by court decision. This saved the budget about 500 million tenge. This experience has happened before. For example, in 2022, hundreds of land plots were taken into state ownership in Shymkent for the construction of stages 3-4 of Kunayev Avenue. Even then, landowners were provided with compensation or alternative land plots, and a number of plots were returned through the courts. And in 2023, a similar large-scale process was carried out in connection with the construction of the A-2 highway in the Turan district. Relatively speaking, the expropriation of land for state needs is expanding every year. This is influenced by the growth rate of the metropolis and the demand for the construction of new roads, schools, hospitals, and sports facilities in the city. The majority of the land returned this year is aimed at large infrastructure projects: Under phase 5 of Kunayev Avenue, 248 of the 270 plots have been returned to state ownership and compensation has been paid. A-2 highway (from the Badam River to the bypass to the Kazygurt microdistrict) - compensation is being paid for 23 of 80 sections. Continuation of S. Baiterekov Street - 33 of the 56 plots have been taken into state ownership. For the construction of a new stadium in the Karatau district, 174 of the 191 plots were returned with compensation, and 6 with alternative land. 23 out of 24 land plots in the Abay district have been transferred to the state for street repair work . All of these projects are aimed at improving the quality of life of Shymkent residents. Reducing traffic congestion in the city, creating new sports infrastructure, and developing transport arteries connecting microdistricts with the center are strategic priorities today. However, such processes always cause different opinions in society. Some residents take the loss of their land seriously, and questions about the amount of compensation are often raised. In this regard, at meetings held in 2024, the city administration focused on aligning the amount of compensation with the market price. This practice continues this year, and fair assessment mechanisms are being used. Compared to previous years, the system of returning land plots for state needs is being carried out on an increasingly open and legal basis. For example, in 2022, many misunderstandings arose among the population due to a lack of information. And since 2023, a process of openly discussing these works, informing residents in advance, and publishing the procedure for paying compensation has been introduced. In 2025, steps in this direction will be further strengthened, and explanatory work is being actively carried out through social networks. According to the city administration, about 30 land plots will be returned to state ownership without compensation in the future. This primarily concerns unused or illegally acquired lands. Such an approach will, on the one hand, save budget funds, and on the other hand, make it possible to use the land more efficiently. In general, the expropriation of land for state needs is a normal process in world practice. For example, similar measures are carried out in megacities in neighboring countries during the construction of new roads and metros. The situation in Shymkent is similar: population growth and the development of the city require new infrastructure, and for this it is necessary to return a certain territory to state ownership. During a briefing on August 27, local authorities made a public appeal to residents, emphasizing that each site will be considered within the framework of the law, and citizens' rights will be protected. This step is aimed at strengthening trust in society and increasing mutual understanding between the population and the authorities. In conclusion, the measures to expropriate land for state needs in Shymkent are a necessary and legitimate process on the way to transforming the city into a modern metropolis. As in previous years, this work will continue in the future, laying the foundation for the construction of new schools, hospitals, sports facilities and roads. Most importantly, the interests of residents are taken into account and fair compensation is being paid.

On August 27, 2025, a public reception was held in Shymkent at the AMANAT party's public reception office. The event was part of the party's "Legal Assistance" project. Azat Islamov, head of the city's land relations department, discussed land issues with city residents. The reception generated considerable interest among city residents: most of the inquiries concerned the land allocation queue. People inquired about the prospects of allocating land for individual housing construction, as well as the possibility of legalizing previously occupied plots. The head of the department explained that after Shymkent received the status of a city of national significance, the practice of allocating new land plots for the construction of private homes ceased. According to Azat Islamov, this step was dictated by the need for rational use of urban space and the provision of infrastructure to existing residential areas. He emphasized that each application will be reviewed individually, and citizens have been provided with clarification on the current legal mechanisms. The reception also included requests related to specific problems. For example, a resident of the village of Zhanatalap reported that he had been unable to register ownership of his land plot for several years. Azat Islamov explained in detail the procedure and the necessary documents and assured that the department was ready to assist in resolving this issue. Such situations are quite common in Shymkent. Residents complain about delays in procedures, difficulties with paperwork, and sometimes even inconsistencies in regulations. This is why holding open meetings with heads of industry departments is especially important. People have the opportunity to directly ask questions of officials and receive qualified answers. It's important to note that "AMANAT" has been holding such meetings for several years now. For example, in 2022, the public reception office received numerous requests regarding the land queue, and issues of property rights registration were also raised. In 2023, the focus was on cases of illegal land seizures and misuse of land plots. In 2024, many requests concerned the redistribution of agricultural land. Comparing these years with the current situation, it can be seen that the issue of the land queue and land legalization remains one of the most pressing for Shymkent residents. The city's development is directly linked to land issues. Shymkent is growing rapidly, its population is increasing, and with it, the demand for housing, social facilities, and utility networks. Rational land management is becoming a strategic priority. The government is taking steps to digitalize land relations, introducing open databases and electronic services. All this should reduce bureaucracy and corruption risks. However, experience shows that citizens are still finding it difficult to navigate the changing rules. People are faced with decades-long waiting lists for land, and registering property rights requires numerous procedures. In this context, party receptions offer a platform not only to raise concerns but also to receive advice based on current legislation. On August 27, residents also raised questions about how to handle previously issued decisions that are effectively impossible to enforce and how to expedite the document processing process. Some of the inquiries concerned the fact that some plots are being misused or are vacant, despite the city experiencing a severe shortage of housing land. Azat Islamov noted that the department will continue to systematically address these issues. Particular attention is being paid to verifying the legality of previously issued documents and simplifying procedures for those actually using the land. Such meetings play an important role in strengthening trust between the public and government agencies. Residents feel their voices are heard, and their concerns are recorded and processed. In the past, dozens of disputes related to land rights have been resolved thanks to such meetings. The result of the recent reception was that no request was left unattended. Each applicant received clarification, and some questions will receive additional answers after document verification. The AMANAT party intends to continue the practice of open receptions with the participation of specialists from various fields, as this type of dialogue allows for the development of solutions that take into account the interests of ordinary citizens. Thus, the meeting on August 27th demonstrated once again that land relations remain a sensitive issue for Shymkent residents. However, open communication with the authorities, a willingness to consider each case individually, and the introduction of new digital tools provide grounds to believe that the situation will gradually change toward greater transparency and fairness.

On August 27, 2025, a public reception was held in Shymkent, organized by the city branch of the AMANAT party. This time, the meeting was held within the framework of the party project "Legal Assistance". The reception was hosted by Azat Islamov, head of the Shymkent City Land Relations Department. The main goal of the event was to listen to the personal problems of residents and consider ways to solve them within the framework of the law. Most of the citizens who came to the reception shared their problems related to the land queue. In particular, questions were often raised about the allocation of land plots for housing construction. As explained by the head of the department, Azat Islamov, after the city of Shymkent was granted the status of a city of republican significance, new land plots for private housing construction will not be allocated. This decision was influenced by the density of the city and infrastructure restrictions. Nevertheless, the citizens' applications were carefully considered and explanations were provided within the framework of the law. A resident of the Zhanatalap settlement also attended the reception and said that he had been unable to legalize his land plot for several years. Azat Islamov took this situation into account and explained the specific ways to legalize it. In addition, he was given advice on the preparation of relevant documents and instructed to provide assistance through responsible specialists. During this reception, other residents raised complaints about the misuse of land, bureaucratic obstacles in document processing, and the fairness of the land queue. Each request was not ignored and specific answers were provided. Such receptions have long been held regularly in Shymkent. For example, in 2022, dozens of applications were received from residents at the party's public reception room, among which land-related issues predominated. At that time, residents complained mainly about the procedure for land privatization and the long duration of the land queue. In 2023, the issues of illegal land acquisition and the purposeless use of land plots were raised at the receptions. In comparison, the issues of land queue and legalization became the main topic at this year's receptions. This indicates that the relevance of land relations in Shymkent is still on the agenda. In general, the city of Shymkent is one of the fastest growing megacities in the republic. Due to the increase in the population, the demand for housing, infrastructure, and engineering networks is increasing. In this regard, the field of land relations is also of particular importance. The state is working to transfer the land relations system to an electronic format within the framework of the "Digital Kazakhstan" program. This step will reduce the risks of corruption and allow for an open and fair consideration of citizens' applications. However, as can be seen from the applications of residents who came to the reception, the final resolution of land-related issues requires time and systematic reforms. Residents of Shymkent face various administrative obstacles when legalizing land plots, obtaining documents, or standing in line. To solve such problems, it is very important to increase legal literacy, ensure transparency, and widely use modern technologies. Another feature of the public reception is the opportunity for local residents to directly address their concerns to the head of the sector. This, in turn, strengthens trust between government agencies and the population. The residents were pleased with Azat Islamov's careful consideration of each citizen's request and the provision of specific legal advice. Based on the experience of previous years, dozens of issues have been resolved as a result of such public receptions. For example, in 2021, several complex issues related to the legalization of land plots were resolved positively with the party's intervention. And in 2023, specific measures were taken at the receptions regarding the redistribution of agricultural lands. Similar results are expected from this year's reception. In conclusion, the public reception held on August 27, 2025 provided an opportunity to openly discuss the current issues of the population in the field of land relations. This reception became an effective platform not only for listening to the problems of residents, but also for providing them with specific legal advice. Regular holding of such events will undoubtedly contribute to the open and fair conduct of the land relations sector in Shymkent.

On August 27, an online meeting was held in Shymkent to discuss the harvesting campaign. The city's mayor, heads of relevant departments, district heads, and farm representatives participated in the discussion. The event's format allowed for real-time discussion of pressing issues, the exchange of proposals, and the identification of solutions. The main topic of the meeting was the current state of agricultural land and the results of this season's work. According to the city's Department of Agriculture, over 30,000 hectares of land are under cultivation in Shymkent, of which approximately 10,000 are planted with grain crops, with the remainder being devoted to corn, vegetables, melons, and forage crops. The average yield this year is expected to exceed 20 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding previous years' results. This dynamic is largely due to the timely adoption of modern agricultural technologies and more efficient use of irrigated land. Government support measures, including fertilizer subsidies and cheaper fuel for farmers, also played a significant role. Thanks to this, many farms were able to overcome the difficulties associated with the arid climate of recent years. The meeting participants paid special attention to the challenges farmers face annually. These include a shortage of modern equipment, the need to upgrade combines and tractors, and limited storage capacity. Much of the existing machinery and tractor fleet is outdated, complicating the tight harvesting schedule. A shortage of vegetable storage and warehouse space forces farmers to sell their harvest immediately after harvest at low prices. The city mayor emphasized that these issues are under special scrutiny. He stated that preferential leasing programs for equipment upgrades will be expanded, and projects are being developed to attract investors for the construction of new logistics centers and warehouse facilities. This will not only reduce crop losses but also strengthen Shymkent's position in the domestic agricultural market. A key topic of the meeting was the digitalization of the agricultural sector. It was noted that new technologies have the potential to transform the approach to harvesting. This includes the use of satellite monitoring, automated irrigation systems, and online mapping of crop areas. Such tools will not only help conserve resources but also predict yields with high accuracy. Compared to previous years, the situation is gradually improving. In 2022, due to a severe drought, the harvest in the region was lower than expected, and the harvesting campaign lasted until mid-September. Many farmers suffered losses, and some produce was not harvested at all. In 2023, the situation improved: the government provided assistance in the form of subsidized fuel and fuel subsidies, and work was carried out to support farmers' cooperatives. As a result, the harvest was more organized, although storage issues remained. The current harvest campaign demonstrates that the lessons learned from previous years have been learned. Authorities identified priority tasks in advance and issued instructions to the responsible departments. Another important achievement was the active participation of farmers themselves, who presented proposals at the meeting. They emphasized the need for closer cooperation between farms, the sharing of equipment, and the joint use of storage facilities. Similar practices are already being implemented in some districts and are yielding positive results. The meeting also discussed the long-term development prospects of Shymkent's agricultural sector. The discussion focused not only on the harvest season but also on creating conditions for more sustainable growth. Priorities included developing livestock farming, expanding forage crop acreage, implementing scientific advances in crop production, and training agricultural personnel. Particular emphasis was placed on Shymkent's high agricultural potential, which needs to be utilized more effectively. The city plans to establish agricultural innovation centers where farmers can learn new farming methods and receive expert advice. Similar initiatives have already been implemented in other regions of the country, and now it's Shymkent's turn to emulate this successful experience. The meeting on August 27 was more than just a working meeting; it was an important step in the development of a new strategy for the city's agricultural development. It demonstrated that, despite the challenges, Shymkent's agricultural sector is developing at a steady pace, and farmers are ready to embrace innovation. The main objective is to unite the efforts of government, business, and agricultural producers to achieve common goals. If the proposed measures are consistently implemented, in the coming years Shymkent will not only be fully self-sufficient in food but also strengthen its position in foreign markets. Thus, the current harvest campaign could become the starting point for a qualitative leap in the development of the city's agricultural sector.

On August 27, an online meeting dedicated to the harvest campaign, an important event in the agricultural sector, was held in Shymkent. The meeting was attended by the city akim, specialists from the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, district akims, and representatives of farms. The main goal of the meeting, organized in an online format, was to discuss the state of this year's harvest and consider ways to complete the campaign in a timely and high-quality manner. During the meeting, data on the size of arable land and crop yields in the city were presented. It was noted that this year, despite the adverse weather conditions, some achievements were achieved as a result of the work of farmers. In particular, it was noted that the yield of vegetables and garden products was higher than last year. This was largely due to the effective use of irrigated land, the introduction of new agricultural technologies, and state support. The online meeting discussed the progress of the harvest campaign in detail and touched upon key issues. Among them, the shortage of equipment, fuel prices, product sales markets, and insufficient storage facilities became topical topics. The city akim gave specific instructions to the relevant departments to solve these problems. In particular, it was noted the need to support small and medium-sized farms and attract additional equipment to harvest products on time. According to the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Shymkent has a total of more than 30 thousand hectares of arable land. Of these, about 10 thousand hectares are sown with wheat, and the rest with corn, vegetables, garden crops and fodder crops. This year's average yield is expected to exceed 20 centners per hectare. This is a significantly higher figure compared to last year. For comparison, in 2022, due to the dry weather, crop yields were low, and some farms suffered losses. That year, the harvest campaign lasted until mid-September, which became a difficult test for farmers. In 2023, the situation improved somewhat, and the state provided discounts on fuel and subsidies for fertilizers. Thanks to this, the volume of production increased and farmers' incomes increased. This year's indicators are much better than the previous two years, as evidenced by concrete data at this meeting. During the meeting, farmers also spoke and made their suggestions. In their opinion, the main problem during the harvesting period is the modernization of the machinery fleet. Most of the existing tractors and combines are outdated, which prevents timely harvesting. In this regard, the akimat proposed expanding leasing programs. Another pressing issue is the warehouse infrastructure. Due to the lack of warehouses for long-term storage of harvested products, some farmers are forced to sell their products at low prices. This directly affects their income. The council noted the need to build modern warehouses and logistics centers by attracting investors. Another important direction of the online consultation is digitalization. The city administration plans to introduce modern digital technologies into the agro-industrial complex in the future. This includes projects such as remote monitoring of land, satellite monitoring of crop growth, and automation of irrigation systems. Such steps will not only increase productivity, but also reduce costs. If we look at the experience of previous years, harvesting campaigns were often carried out using traditional methods. Since farmers did not have sufficient equipment and modern technology at their disposal, a significant part of the crop was lost. However, in recent years, the support provided by the state and the introduction of digitalization have radically changed the situation. The meeting held on August 27 can be considered a real continuation of the work in this direction. Not only current issues were discussed here, but also a long-term development strategy for agriculture. In order to fully utilize the agricultural potential of Shymkent, the agenda includes attracting new investments, establishing partnerships with research centers, and training farmers. In conclusion, the online meeting on August 27 gave impetus to the high-level implementation of the harvesting campaign in Shymkent. This meeting allowed us to clarify the direction of future work, taking into account the experience of previous years. This year's improvement in indicators is the result of the hard work of farmers, state support, and the use of modern methods. This meeting clearly showed that Shymkent is making progress in the agricultural sector. If the proposed measures are systematically implemented, it is quite possible that in the coming years the city will become one of the leaders in agriculture not only at the regional, but also at the republican level.
