The main goal of this Saturday was to keep the city clean in terms of sanitation, improve the quality of life of residents, increase environmental culture, and mobilize society for a common cause. Cleaning in the city was considered not only a beautification measure, but also an important factor in protecting public health. During the weekend, extensive cleaning work was carried out in the district. In particular: Dead trees and branches were cut down; Grass cutting work was carried out in the green areas; Roads and sidewalks were washed using special equipment; Garbage dumps were cleaned and disinfected; The household waste collected in the courtyards has been completely removed.

Each department performed its duties and acted in harmony. For example, the Department of Culture organized a small concert program to encourage participants in the Sabbath, while the Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure provided equipment to clean roadside ditches. Along with municipal services, the district youth resource center, volunteer movement, and residents also showed their activity. Young people in particular showed great support: they helped clean the streets, whitewash trees, and sort garbage. This Sabbath increased the responsibility of every citizen in society towards their hometown. During the event, residents were educated about environmental protection, waste sorting, and nature conservation. According to environmental experts, the formation of an ecological culture directly affects the future of society. Therefore, such cleanups are not only considered cleaning activities, but also an environmental campaign with educational value . According to experts, sanitation plays an important role in protecting public health. Timely removal of garbage, removal of dead trees and weeds prevent the spread of various infectious diseases. The special significance of the Sabbath in this context was emphasized several times at the meeting. Residents of the Dostyk microdistrict expressed their gratitude for the organized event. They said that as a result of such large-scale work, the area is cleaner and more beautiful than ever. Many residents voluntarily participated in the Sabbath, setting an example for their neighbors. The Abai district akimat has announced plans to hold such cleanups on a regular basis. Each month, the focus will be on a specific microdistrict or settlement, and cleaning efforts will continue in phases. In addition, as part of the "Clean City" campaign, a special environmental program has been developed and activities aimed at educating schoolchildren and students to treat nature with compassion will continue. The large-scale cleanup on September 13 was not just a one-day cleanup, but a good initiative that demonstrated the unity and responsibility of society.

In general, such measures are aimed at improving the ecology of the city, increasing the quality of life of residents, and leaving a clean environment for future generations.

On September 10, 2025, at the initiative of the territorial inspection of the Committee for Veterinary Control and Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a roundtable discussion was held in Shymkent with the participation of directors of domestic trade facilities, heads of veterinary and sanitary expert laboratories located at markets, and representatives of slaughterhouses. The event was aimed at a comprehensive discussion of issues related to ensuring veterinary and sanitary safety, improving the operation of meat processing plants and slaughterhouses, and strengthening quality control over products sold in city markets. The organizers emphasized that the main goal of the roundtable is to develop concrete solutions to ensure the safety of animal products reaching retail shelves. This directly impacts public health, consumer confidence, and the reputation of businesses. Particular attention was paid to the need for strict adherence to sanitary standards , since it is through livestock products that dangerous infections and diseases are most often spread. Representatives of the Shymkent Territorial Inspectorate of the Veterinary and Sanitary Supervision Service noted that in recent years, cases of products being sold without the necessary veterinary documentation have been uncovered. Such incidents not only undermine public trust but also pose a direct threat to public health. In this regard, the inspectorate intends to strengthen scheduled and unscheduled inspections, as well as conduct preventative outreach work with entrepreneurs. A separate section of discussion was devoted to the operations of slaughterhouses. Participants noted that violations continue to be observed at a number of facilities, including failure to comply with sanitary requirements and the lack of specialized facilities or properly completed documentation. Business leaders are advised to: bring slaughterhouses and meat processing plants into compliance with sanitary regulations; ensure training of personnel in sanitary standards and rules for handling animals; Strengthen internal veterinary control at every stage of work. This will not only improve product quality, but also bring work standards closer to international requirements. The functioning of veterinary and sanitary laboratories at markets featured prominently in the discussion. Participants emphasized that laboratory testing prevents potentially dangerous products from reaching shelves. The need was discussed: implementation of modern technologies for diagnostics and analysis of products; improving the professional training of laboratory specialists; speeding up research procedures without compromising the quality of the examination. During the round table, the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Veterinary Medicine" were explained, in particular Article 25, which defines the responsibilities of individuals and legal entities. According to the law, every entrepreneur is obliged to: have all the necessary veterinary certificates and documents for the products sold; store and transport products in accordance with established rules; comply with sanitary and veterinary standards at all stages of production and sales. Inspectors reminded that failure to comply with these standards entails administrative and even criminal liability. Representatives of retail outlets and laboratories noted in their speeches that joint efforts by businesses and government agencies are necessary to improve product quality and safety. Many entrepreneurs expressed their willingness to support the inspection in raising public awareness and increasing trust in the city's markets. Following the meeting, a series of measures were outlined that will be implemented in the near future: Regular inspections of slaughterhouses and laboratories. Implementation of new technologies for analyzing the quality of meat and other animal products. Expanding outreach efforts among entrepreneurs on compliance with veterinary legislation. Formation of a culture of safe food consumption among the population . Thus, a comprehensive improvement in the level of sanitary safety in Shymkent is planned. The roundtable discussion held on September 10, 2025, marked an important step in strengthening the quality control system for animal products. Participants reached a common conclusion: food safety and the health of citizens are a shared responsibility of the state, business, and society. Inspectorate representatives emphasized that work to ensure veterinary and sanitary safety will continue on a systematic basis. Only coordinated collaboration between all parties will achieve tangible results and guarantee Shymkent residents access to high-quality and safe products.

On September 10, 2025, an important event was organized by the Territorial Inspectorate of the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan (VCSC of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan) for the city of Shymkent. The round table, which brought together directors of domestic trade facilities, specialists of veterinary and sanitary examination laboratories located at these facilities, as well as heads of slaughterhouses, was dedicated to discussing topical issues in ensuring food safety in the city. The main goal of the meeting was to ensure veterinary and sanitary safety in the city, improve the work of slaughterhouses, and establish strict control over the quality of products sold in the markets. It is known that the health of society is primarily closely related to quality food. In this regard, the issues raised at the round table were extremely relevant for each participant. During their speech, representatives of the inspection emphasized that ensuring the safety of meat, milk, fish, and other animal products supplied to the public is a common responsibility not only of government agencies, but also of private entrepreneurs. In recent years, cases of substandard products being sold in markets and retail outlets have been recorded. Such situations, firstly, pose a direct threat to the health of citizens , and secondly, they undermine consumer confidence. Therefore, product quality control and strengthening laboratory testing should be a priority. The meeting also reviewed the current state of slaughterhouses and the quality of service. According to experts, some enterprises do not fully comply with sanitary requirements or lack appropriate documents. In this regard, slaughterhouse directors are required to: compliance of industrial buildings with sanitary standards, special training of workers, Specific instructions were given to strengthen veterinary control. These measures will not only improve product quality, but also ensure safety in accordance with international standards. Special attention was also paid to the activities of veterinary and sanitary examination laboratories located at domestic trade facilities. Timely and high-quality laboratory tests are the main mechanism that prevents dangerous products from entering the market shelves. Participants noted the need to use modern technologies when testing food products. The issue of improving the professional skills of laboratory specialists was also discussed. During the round table, Article 25 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Veterinary Medicine", i.e. the obligations of individuals and legal entities, were explained. In particular, each entrepreneur: to monitor the availability of veterinary documents when selling animals and animal products, to store the product in accordance with the established rules, It was noted that it is mandatory to comply with sanitary requirements. It was also clearly stated that failure to comply with these norms will result in administrative or criminal liability. As a result of the meeting, a number of plans aimed at increasing food security in Shymkent were approved: Conducting systematic inspections at slaughterhouses and markets; High-level product quality control through the use of modern equipment in laboratories; Continue regular explanatory work among entrepreneurs on compliance with veterinary requirements; Creating a culture of safe food among the population. The round table held on September 10 was one of the important steps towards protecting the health of city residents. Strict compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements allows every citizen to consume safe and high-quality products. Work in this direction will continue systematically in the future. The Shymkent Territorial Inspectorate of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan will strengthen control and continue to provide methodological assistance to entrepreneurs and laboratories. Thus, thanks to the shared responsibility of the state and business representatives, as well as society, the quality of life of city residents will increase and the environmental and sanitary situation in Shymkent will improve.

Systematic efforts to strengthen veterinary safety and prevent the spread of dangerous diseases among farm animals continue in Shymkent. The latest round of these efforts took place in the village of Badam in the Yenbekshinsky District, where specialists from the Shymkent Veterinary Service carried out a range of preventative and diagnostic procedures in strict compliance with veterinary regulations. The primary goal of these outreach activities is to prevent the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases among domestic and farm animals. Veterinarians administer necessary vaccinations, monitor the general health of livestock, identify potential disease outbreaks at early stages, and take measures to contain them. Furthermore, such events are aimed at increasing the legal and health literacy of rural residents, as many animal diseases can be transmitted to humans and cause harm not only to health but also to the regional economy. As part of the ongoing work, specialists examined cattle, sheep, and goats. The animals were given the necessary preventative vaccinations, including against anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, and other infections dangerous to animals and people. Each animal undergoes a visual examination, its condition is checked, its temperature is measured, its weight is assessed, and, if necessary, samples are taken for laboratory testing. This comprehensive approach allows for the early detection of the disease and prevents its spread. Along with medical procedures, specialists conduct interviews with residents. They explain the rules for keeping and feeding animals, and emphasize the importance of observing sanitary standards, timely vaccinations, and veterinary inspections. Residents are reminded that even in the absence of obvious signs of illness, animals require regular preventative vaccinations. Owners often underestimate the importance of such procedures, which subsequently leads to the emergence of epidemic outbreaks. Representatives of the Veterinary Service emphasized that the activities in the Badam district are part of a larger plan covering the entire Yenbekshinsky district. Similar work will be carried out in stages in other rural communities. This systematic approach ensures control over the overall epizootic situation in the region and reduces the risk of major disease outbreaks. It is planned that by the end of the year, preventative measures will cover the majority of farm animals kept on private farms in the region. For local residents, such events have significant practical significance. Agriculture remains one of the main sources of income for the population, so the health of domestic animals is directly linked to the economic well-being of families. For example, timely vaccinations against brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease help maintain livestock productivity and prevent mass deaths. This, in turn, means preserving dairy and meat products, which form the basis of rural residents' diets and incomes. These events were made possible thanks to government support and the coordinated work of veterinary specialists. The government allocates vaccines and diagnostics from the national fund, and local services organize their effective use. Local residents note that access to preventative measures makes their work easier and reduces animal care costs. After all, if an illness occurs, treatment is significantly more expensive than timely prevention. According to specialists, the work will continue in other villages in the Yenbekshinsky District in the coming months. In addition to preventative vaccinations, plans include conducting animal censuses, strengthening monitoring of their movements, and improving the sanitary conditions of their habitats. The introduction of digital accounting technologies is also being considered in the future, which will simplify animal health monitoring and promptly identify problem areas. Thus, preventative work in the Badam rural district has proven highly effective and has been well received by the community. Local residents expressed gratitude to the veterinary service for their care of their animals and for the educational talks, which help increase awareness and responsibility among livestock owners. Such events serve as an important element of the country's overall biosecurity system. After all, animal health is directly linked to human health, economic stability, and food security.

In Shymkent, veterinary activities are being carried out systematically to maintain the health of farm animals, prevent infectious diseases, and improve the well-being of the population. As an example, specialists from the Shymkent branch of the Veterinary Service MCC conducted regular preventive and diagnostic work in the Badam settlement of Enbekshy district. The main goal of the measures taken was to prevent the spread of highly dangerous infectious diseases among farm animals, to identify outbreaks of disease early, and to implement timely treatment and prevention. In addition, the main focus was on increasing the veterinary culture of livestock owners and explaining the importance of observing sanitary requirements. During the event, specialists conducted a thorough examination of cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals. The animals were vaccinated with the necessary vaccines; The general condition, body temperature, and weight of the animals were monitored; If necessary, blood and other samples were taken and sent to the laboratory. First of all, special vaccinations were carried out to protect animals from dangerous diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, and foot-and-mouth disease. These vaccinations are the most effective means of preventing diseases that are widespread in agriculture and also pose a threat to human health. Veterinary specialists not only vaccinated, but also conducted extensive educational work with villagers. The hygienic requirements for animal care were explained; It was stated that special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of livestock pens; The benefits of timely vaccination and veterinary examinations of animals were outlined. Experts say that in many cases, livestock owners ignore the first signs of the disease and seek help only when their animals are in serious condition. This situation leads to the spread of the disease and increased losses. Therefore, preventive measures are the best solution. For residents of Enbekshy district, livestock farming is the main source of livelihood. Not only milk and meat products, but also the income from it is an important part of the family economy. Therefore, maintaining the health of animals has a direct impact on the social situation of the villagers. For example, if a dangerous disease such as brucellosis is detected in a household, the entire livestock will have to be destroyed. This will lead to huge material losses. However, timely vaccination can prevent such a disaster. The effective implementation of these measures is supported by the state. Vaccines are allocated from the republican budget, and local veterinary service specialists ensure their correct and timely use. Local residents noted that these works are carried out free of charge and expressed their gratitude for the professional work of specialists, since timely preventive measures reduce subsequent losses several times. These measures, which began in the village of Badam, will be gradually extended to other villages and small settlements of the Enbekshy district in the future. All farm animals are counted; Control over the movement and sale of animals will be strengthened; Additional measures will be taken to improve sanitary conditions. In addition, in the future, it is planned to digitize the process of registering and monitoring the health of livestock. This will allow for accurate monitoring of the condition of each animal, timely vaccination, and rapid containment of the spread of the disease. The veterinary events held in the Badam settlement received great support from the villagers. Residents highly appreciated the professional assistance provided by specialists to the animals and supplemented their knowledge through educational activities. These measures will not only improve animal health, but also improve the quality of life of the population as a whole. After all, a strong agriculture is the key to a stable economy and food security. Thus, the veterinary preventive and diagnostic measures being implemented in the Enbekshy district are important not only for one district, but for the entire city population. As a result of these works, the agriculture of Shymkent city will develop steadily, and the health and well-being of the population will improve.

On September 12, 2025, a final meeting was held in Shymkent, chaired by A. Pardebekuly, Head of the Territorial Inspectorate of the Committee for Veterinary Control and Kadagalau of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the city of Shymkent. The meeting reviewed the progress of the plan for the prevention and diagnosis of especially dangerous animal diseases, as well as the implementation of enzootic measures for the first eight months of this year. The meeting was attended by the head of the veterinary department of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine of the city of Shymkent, E. Adenov, chief specialist of the department, N. Ospanova, deputy director of the State Enterprise "Veterinary Service" E. Akhmetov, senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay, as well as heads of veterinary stations. Several key areas were put on the agenda: Implementation of the annual plan of preventive and diagnostic measures to prevent particularly dangerous animal diseases. Control over the movement of farm animals within the city and between regions of the country. Targeted and timely use of vaccines allocated from the republican fund. Use of the drug "AusylVac-Al" - an inactivated cultural mono- and polyvalent sorbed vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants. The speakers noted that, from January to August 2025, veterinary services in Shymkent carried out a significant amount of work to prevent the spread of diseases that pose a threat to both livestock production and public health. Preventive vaccinations against brucellosis, anthrax, rabies, pasteurellosis, and other dangerous infections were administered. Particular attention was paid to diagnostic testing aimed at the timely detection of diseases and the elimination of potential sources of infection. One of the key issues remains the regulation and control of the movement of livestock within and outside the city. It has been noted that uncontrolled livestock movement can lead to the rapid spread of dangerous infections, including foot-and-mouth disease. In this regard, the inspection agency has stepped up its efforts to verify veterinary accompanying documents and conducts regular raids in conjunction with local executive authorities and law enforcement agencies. During the meeting, the rational use of vaccines provided from the republican reserve was discussed in detail. According to specialists, all vaccines were distributed and used in accordance with established standards. The use of the AusylVac-Al vaccine was a key focus of discussion. This vaccine, developed by Russian scientists, has proven highly effective in preventing foot-and-mouth disease in cattle and small ruminants. It is available in both monovalent and polyvalent forms, allowing animals to develop robust immunity against various virus strains. Head of the Veterinary Department E. Adenov emphasized that despite the results achieved, challenges remain to improve the quality of preventive measures at the local level. Specifically, this includes upgrading the qualifications of specialists and ensuring sufficient diagnostic materials and laboratory equipment. The department's chief specialist, N. Ospanova, emphasized the need for public awareness campaigns. She noted that many livestock owners still do not pay due attention to routine vaccinations, which could complicate the overall epizootic situation. Deputy Director of the Veterinary Service, E. Akhmetov, presented a detailed report on the work completed by the departments. He noted that all veterinary stations have actively participated in the implementation of these measures, but that increased monitoring of vaccination schedules is needed. Senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay added that, in addition to vaccination, it is essential to strictly adhere to sanitary standards when keeping animals, as unsanitary conditions often cause outbreaks of disease. Following the meeting, specific recommendations were developed: continue monitoring the epizootic situation in the city; strengthen cooperation between veterinary services and local authorities; more actively involve the population in preventive measures through educational work; ensure timely updating of the material and technical base of veterinary stations; Strengthen control over the movement of animals and the quality of accompanying documents. In his closing remarks, A. Pardebekuly, head of the territorial inspectorate, noted that the successful development of the livestock industry directly depends on the coordinated work of veterinary services and the responsible attitude of farmers and business owners toward preventive measures. He emphasized that only through joint efforts can we guarantee the country's biological security and the stable development of the agricultural sector. The final meeting demonstrated that, overall, the eight-month action plan had been implemented at a high level. The identified issues and recommendations will serve as the basis for further improvement. Meeting participants expressed confidence that consistent implementation of the set objectives will not only preserve epizootic safety in Shymkent but also increase public confidence in the work of state veterinary authorities.

On September 12, 2025, an important meeting was held under the chairmanship of A. Pardebekuly, Head of the Territorial Inspection of the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the city of Shymkent. At this meeting, the progress of veterinary activities carried out in the period from January to August 2025 was reviewed. The meeting was attended by the head of the Veterinary Department of the Shymkent Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine E. Adenov, the chief specialist of the department N. Ospanova, the deputy director of the Veterinary Service MCC E. Akhmetov, senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay, as well as the heads of veterinary posts in the city. During the meeting, the "Plan for the Prevention and Diagnosis of Highly Dangerous Animal Diseases and Enzootic Measures" was discussed. This plan is one of the most important documents in the agricultural sector of the country. Its main goal is to prevent the spread of diseases among animals, ensure the safety of agricultural products, and prevent potential risks to public health. In his speech, the head of the inspection, A. Pardebekuly, noted that since the beginning of the year, planned activities have been systematically carried out in the city. He especially emphasized the significant results achieved in the prevention of highly dangerous animal diseases. One of the main topics of the meeting was the proper use of vaccines allocated from the republican property. According to veterinary service specialists, the volume of vaccines delivered to the city since the beginning of the year has been fully utilized, covering the planned livestock population. Among them, special attention was paid to the vaccine "AusylVac-Al". This is an inactivated culture mono- and polyvalent sorbed vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants. According to the participants, this vaccine demonstrates high efficiency in protecting animals from a dangerous disease. Its correct and timely use is an important step in the sustainable development of livestock farming. During the meeting, issues of controlling livestock movement within the republic and the city were also discussed. It is known that there is a high risk of spreading various diseases when livestock is transported from one region to another. Therefore, the work in this area is strictly controlled by the veterinary inspection. Representatives of the inspection said that they are strengthening measures to prevent illegal livestock transportation. Each head of livestock is required to be accompanied by veterinary documents, and compliance with this requirement is checked by local veterinary posts. During the meeting, participants presented their proposals. Representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine noted the need for systematic explanatory work with livestock owners in rural areas, as some citizens do not fully understand the importance of preventive measures. Specialists of the Veterinary Service MCC raised the issue of staff training. In their opinion, regular seminars and trainings for veterinarians will help improve professional skills. The station managers, on the other hand, noted the lack of modern equipment in rural areas and raised the issue of strengthening the material and technical base. Summing up the meeting, A. Pardebekuly positively assessed the work done and set specific tasks for the coming period. First of all, he instructed to fully and timely implement vaccination measures, strictly control livestock movements, and strengthen explanatory work with the population. In addition, the head of the inspection noted the high professional responsibility of veterinary workers: "Only when every specialist faithfully fulfills their duties can we prevent animal diseases and achieve safe and sustainable development of agriculture," he said. This meeting is of great importance not only for the city of Shymkent, but also for the veterinary security of the country as a whole. Because the spread of animal diseases can not only cause significant damage to agriculture, but also pose a threat to human health. Therefore, preventive and diagnostic measures should always be a priority. In general, the work carried out in the first eight months of 2025 yielded positive results. In the coming period, joint work of veterinary services at all levels will continue to ensure the full implementation of planned activities.

On September 13, 2025, another cleanup day was held in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan." On this day, staff from the Youth Resource Center, along with active city volunteers, took to Turkestan Street to clean it up and contribute to the improvement of their home region. The main goal of the campaign is to foster environmental awareness among the population, instill in young people a sense of responsibility for cleanliness and environmental conservation, and engage residents in socially beneficial initiatives. "Clean Kazakhstan" has long been a tradition: every year, thousands of residents take to the streets to clean courtyards, parks, squares, and roads of trash, making the city more comfortable and beautiful. This time, it was the youth who truly demonstrated civic engagement. The Youth Resource Center brought together dozens of volunteers, who accomplished a significant amount of work in just one day. The volunteers cleaned up trash along Turkestan Street, cleared roadside areas of accumulated household waste, swept sidewalks, mowed weeds, and tidied up green spaces. Particular attention was paid to trees and shrubs: dry grass was removed from around the trunks, and the trees themselves were treated with lime mortar. Thus, the cleanup day served not only as a sanitary measure but also as a landscaping and maintenance event. In addition to the cleanup, the organizers held educational talks among the participants about the importance of environmental stewardship. Young people were told about the environmental damage caused by plastic waste, the harmful effects of waste incineration, and how to properly sort household waste. The children learned that separating waste into organic and inorganic, using recycled products, and saving water and energy are steps everyone can take daily. Such simple actions can significantly improve the environmental situation not only in the city but throughout the country. "Clean Kazakhstan" isn't just about cleaning up trash. It's a movement that fosters a sense of unity and collective responsibility among citizens. Young people participating in these initiatives understand that keeping their city clean is everyone's responsibility. One of the cleanup participants noted, "We want the streets we walk on every day to be clean. A clean city starts with a clean yard, and a clean yard starts with the efforts of every resident." Such events are becoming an effective form of patriotic and environmental education for young people. They teach children discipline, respect for the work of others, and appreciation for natural resources. After the cleanup, Turkestan Street was noticeably transformed. Clean sidewalks, tidied curbs, and neatly trimmed trees gave the street a well-maintained and modern look. This was a welcome development for residents: they can now spend time outdoors with even greater comfort, and their children can play in clean playgrounds. Residents of nearby buildings expressed gratitude to the organizers and participants for their efforts. Many noted that clean streets make life more comfortable and safer. The Youth Resource Center announced that similar events will be held regularly. The plan is to select new areas of the city each week and organize cleanups there in collaboration with volunteers and active residents. In addition, the center plans to launch special environmental challenges and competitions among young people to encourage initiative and a creative approach to solving environmental problems. Thus, the goal of the campaign is not only to clean individual areas, but also to develop a sustainable habit among the population to take care of cleanliness on a daily basis. The cleanup day held on September 13, 2025, on Turkestan Street in Shymkent was a vivid example of how youth efforts can transform the city's appearance. The participation of Youth Resource Center staff and volunteers demonstrated that with dedication and collaboration, large areas can be quickly and effectively cleaned up. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign has once again confirmed that caring for the environment is not a one-time event, but a daily commitment for each of us. And the more people involved in this process, the faster our city and country will become cleaner, more beautiful, and more comfortable to live in. A clean city means healthy residents, a cozy atmosphere in every courtyard, and confidence in the future. Shymkent's youth have proven they are ready to take responsibility for preserving nature and developing their homeland. This inspires optimism: the city has a future if its residents work together to nurture it.

On September 13, 2025, another clean-up was organized in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". This time, employees of the Youth Resource Center and volunteer youth jointly carried out sanitary cleaning work on Turkestan Street, one of the most important streets in the city. The main goal of the campaign is to increase the ecological culture of the population, form responsibility for environmental protection, and ensure the active involvement of young people in socially beneficial activities. The "Clean Kazakhstan" initiative has been traditionally held in our country every year. It is aimed at beautifying cities and villages, cleaning streets and yards from garbage, and improving green areas. The Youth Resource Center staff mobilized young volunteers for the Sabbath and accomplished a lot of work in one day. They collected household waste accumulated along Turkestan Street, cleaned up the roadsides, and also helped to improve the area by mowing grass and whitewashing tree stumps. The activity and organization of the young people were especially noticeable. Everyone enthusiastically fulfilled their assigned tasks and enthusiastically joined in the common cause. This clearly demonstrated their love for their hometown and their desire to protect nature. During the weekend, not only were cleaning activities carried out, but the participants were also explained the relevance of environmental issues. It was emphasized that environmental pollution directly affects not only nature, but also human health. The youth were explained how to properly sort garbage, collect plastic waste separately, and reduce household waste. Such educational activities not only increase the environmental literacy of young volunteers, but also help them apply these skills in their daily lives. The “Clean Kazakhstan” campaign is not only an environmental initiative, it is also aimed at strengthening unity and a sense of responsibility in society. One of the young people who participated in the vigil said about it: “Cleanliness in the city is the duty of every citizen. If everyone keeps their yard clean, the whole city will prosper. We want to be an example to others with our work today.” Such events are an effective means of educating the younger generation, because through Sabbath, young people deeply feel the value of labor, the importance of unity, and the need to protect nature. As a result of the cleanup, Turkestan Street became more attractive and comfortable for residents. The cleaned area became a convenient place for people to walk and children to play. The improvement of the roadside demonstrated the high level of culture of the city and had a positive effect on the mood of residents. The Youth Resource Center plans to continue such events in the future. Every week, Sabbaths will be held on different streets and courtyards in the city. In addition, representatives of the center plan to organize environmental challenges among young people and set an example for the public. The goal is not to limit ourselves to one-day cleaning, but to create an ecological culture in the daily lives of residents. The Saturday event held on September 13 clearly demonstrated the activity of the youth of Shymkent and their love for their native city. This event, part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign, was not only a tangible contribution to environmental protection, but also a way to educate young people in patriotism, hard work, and responsibility. Protecting nature is the duty of every citizen. And the active participation of young people in this cause will increase confidence in the bright future of our country.

On September 10, 2025, a visiting meeting of the Environmental Council of the city branch of the AMANAT party was held in Shymkent. The meeting focused on an issue that directly affects the lives and well-being of residents of the Zhanatalapsky rural district: the fate of the Badam River, which flows through the village. The council meeting was attended by Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the city branch of the party; Zhenisbek Turganov, Chairman of the Environmental Council; Yesimkhan Bertayev, Executive Secretary of the Turan district branch of the party; Murat Abdrakhmanov, Deputy Head of the Department for the Development of a Comfortable Environment; representatives of the district akimat, the Department of Emergency Situations, and residents of Zhanatalap. The presence of several agencies and active citizens gave the discussion a broad public resonance. This is understandable: this is not only about the environment, but also about livelihoods—the living conditions of people who have depended on the Badam River's water for decades. Currently, concrete lining of the riverbank is underway along the section of the river passing through Zhanatalap. According to the project, these measures should reduce the risk of emergency situations, such as flooding, coastal damage, or soil erosion. However, village residents are expressing serious concern: they believe that once construction is completed, they may lose access to the water they traditionally used for agriculture. "For many years, our village depended on this spring for its survival. Irrigated land, gardens, trees—all of this depended on the Badam water. Now, however, we see the trees starting to dry out, and in the future, the entire village risks being left without water," said one villager during the meeting. Murat Abdrakhmanov, Deputy Head of the Comfortable Environment Development Department, confirmed the problem and pointed out its legal aspect. He explained that part of the land where the drainage system is located is privately owned. This is preventing the proper distribution of water to local residents. "The land where a vital water resource is located has been transferred to private hands. To resolve this issue, it must be returned to state ownership. If you, as neighbors and the community, agree to return the land, we are ready to carry out all necessary work as quickly as possible," Abdrakhmanov noted. Local residents greeted the official's statement with some skepticism but expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue. They voiced a key condition: water must remain available for agricultural use. They emphasized that the lack of an irrigation system would lead to the degradation of fields and orchards and, consequently, a decline in living standards. "If the village is left without water, we will have no future. The young people will leave, the farm will perish, and with it, life in Zhanatalap itself," added another resident. Following the discussion, the parties reached a compromise: work to resolve the problem will be carried out in stages. First, the ownership of the land where the drainage system is located is planned to be resolved. After that, the authorities, in conjunction with the relevant agencies, will take measures to maintain the village's water supply. It was also agreed that in the future, any projects concerning water resources and environmental issues will be discussed with the participation of local residents in order to take into account their interests and needs. The situation in the Zhanatalap rural district reflects a broader problem: the need to balance engineering solutions for emergency protection with the preservation of traditional agriculture. Water has always been and remains a key resource for Kazakhstan's southern regions, and any restriction on access to it is a legitimate concern. This case also demonstrates the importance of transparency in the implementation of public projects. Residents must be informed of the goals and consequences of construction work, and their opinions must be taken into account at all stages. This is the only way to avoid social conflict and discontent. For its part, the AMANAT party has once again demonstrated its willingness to act as a mediator between the public and government authorities. Organizing on-site meetings allows the voices of ordinary citizens to be heard, giving them the opportunity to directly address officials and raise their concerns. Such meetings not only help address specific issues but also build trust between society and the government. This is especially important for the residents of Zhanatalap: they see that their problems are not ignored. The meeting of the Environmental Council in the Zhanatalapsky rural district was an important step toward resolving the issue of water use in the Badam River. On the one hand, measures are needed to strengthen the banks and prevent emergency situations. On the other hand, we cannot allow an entire village to be deprived of its source of life and well-being. The phased approach proposed by the parties inspires hope that the issue will be resolved fairly and in a manner that takes into account the interests of all parties. The key is to maintain a balance between safety, the environment, and the needs of rural residents.

On September 10, 2025, a mobile meeting of the Ecological Council under the city branch of the AMANAT party was held in Shymkent. The meeting was organized in the Zhanatalap settlement, where a very relevant issue for local residents was discussed - the use of the Badam River water. The meeting was attended by the deputy executive secretary of the city branch of the party, Yerbol Baikonysov, chairman of the Ecological Council, Zhenisbek Turganov, executive secretary of the Turan district branch, Yesimkhan Bertaev, deputy head of the "Development of a Comfortable Environment" department, Murat Abdrakhmanov, representatives of the district akimat and the Department of Emergency Situations, and villagers. The fact that various structures came together at such a level showed how important the issue was. Because we were talking about water resources, which directly affect not only the environmental situation, but also the daily lives and livelihoods of rural residents. Currently, work is underway to concretize the banks of the Badam River, which flows through Zhanatalap. The project aims to prevent emergencies, stabilize the riverbed, and ensure local safety. Although this step seems reasonable from a hydrotechnical point of view, it has caused concern among the local population. According to the villagers, after the construction work is completed, they may lose access to river water. This situation will negatively affect agriculture. Because the people of Zhanatalap have been watering their fields and gardens with this river water for decades. "Our village is overlooking the waters of the Badam River. Our garden, orchard, and trees in the valley are nourished by this water. Recently, the trees have been withering. If the water stops, the entire village will be without water," said one of the gathered residents. Murat Abdrakhmanov, Deputy Head of the Department of "Development of a Comfortable Environment", commented on this issue. According to him, part of the water diversion area has been privatized. This situation hinders the fair use of water. "Currently, a significant plot of land for diverting water is privately owned. There is only one way to solve the problem - to return that land to state ownership. If you, the villagers, come to an agreement with your neighbors, we will quickly carry out the necessary work and ensure that water reaches the village," he said. The gathered villagers listened carefully to this opinion and accepted it with a certain level of understanding. However, they also made their demands clear: the main condition is the uninterrupted supply of water for agriculture. "Without water, a village has no future. Young people will move to the city, gardens and fields will wither, and livestock farming will cease. Without water, life in Zhanatalap will cease," said another resident. In this way, the people made it clear to the authorities that rural life depends on water. The parties agreed to resolve the issue in stages. First of all, the issue of returning the land that had been privatized to state ownership would be considered. Subsequently, appropriate work would be carried out to properly direct the water channel and deliver the required amount of water to the village. It was also noted that in the future, the opinion of the local population will be taken into account when implementing such projects. This is the main guarantee of strengthening the trust of residents and maintaining social stability. The situation in Zhanatalap is not just a problem of one village. This is a common problem for the entire region. The majority of villages in South Kazakhstan depend on water from rivers, lakes and canals. Therefore, any hydrotechnical project should be directly related to the social situation of the local population. Economical use of water, returning illegally acquired land to the state, and maintaining ecological balance - all of this is important for the development of not only the village, but the entire city. In this event, the AMANAT party served as a bridge between the people and the authorities. A roadshow organized by the party's Environmental Council gave villagers the opportunity to directly address their concerns. Such meetings increase public trust and foster an open dialogue with the authorities. Through the initiative of the AMANAT party, residents see that their problems are not ignored. The meeting in Zhanatalap was a great lesson for society. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the river banks to prevent emergencies. On the other hand, the village cannot be deprived of water. Water is the basis of life, the support of agriculture. In this regard, the parties' reaching a common agreement is a positive step. The measures that will be implemented in stages in the future will be aimed at protecting the interests of the village population and preserving the future of the village. There is confidence that this issue will be resolved positively, thanks to the activity of urban and rural residents, the openness of the authorities, and the initiative of the AMANAT party.

On September 13, 2025, another cleanup day took place in Shymkent's Yenbekshinsky District, during which large-scale sanitary and environmental work was carried out. The tradition of collective work to clean and tidy public spaces once again brought together hundreds of residents, utility workers, and representatives of various organizations. The cleanup day focused on cleaning areas adjacent to residential neighborhoods, streets, and parks. Participants thoroughly cleared sidewalks, roads, and bus stops of trash and dust, significantly improving the appearance of the neighborhood. Work was carried out not only in the central areas but also in more remote corners of the district, ensuring that every street looked well-maintained and tidy. Municipal services, working with volunteers, washed sidewalks and curbs. Using specialized equipment, they effectively removed the debris. After the cleaning, the streets and pedestrian areas sparkled clean, creating comfortable walking conditions for residents. Special attention was paid to landscaping and beautifying green spaces during the cleanup day. Utility workers, working with residents, trimmed weeds, tidied up lawns, trimmed shrubs, and cleared dead tree branches. Such measures not only improve the appearance of the neighborhood but also maintain a healthy environment. Maintaining green spaces in urban environments is especially important. Timely pruning of shrubs and grass prevents the spread of allergenic plants, reduces the risk of fires during dry periods, and makes public spaces safer and more aesthetically pleasing. The cleanup day in the Yenbekshinsky District is not just a one-time garbage cleanup but also an important contribution to improving the environmental situation. The widespread participation of district residents fosters a culture of care for cleanliness and the environment. Removing household waste from the streets and cleaning ditches and green spaces reduces the burden on city services and prevents water pollution. These measures help maintain the city's sanitary conditions and create conditions for safe and comfortable living for residents. The active participation of the district's residents is worth noting. Many families attended the cleanup day with their children, demonstrating by personal example the importance of maintaining cleanliness and order. Young people also actively participated in cleaning the streets and courtyards, demonstrating a high level of civic responsibility. Organizations and institutions located in the district also made a significant contribution. Employees from public and private companies helped clean up the surrounding areas and provided transportation and equipment for waste removal. Organizing cleanup days in Shymkent has long been a good tradition, uniting people around a common goal: making their city cleaner and more beautiful. In the Yenbekshinsky District, this tradition is highly respected, as they understand that the city's cleanliness depends not only on public utilities but also on the residents themselves. Such initiatives instill in residents a sense of collective responsibility for the improvement and sanitation of their neighborhoods. People see the results of their efforts and develop a greater respect for the public spaces that create a comfortable living environment. The district administration expressed its sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the cleanup. It was especially noted that such results would not have been possible without the joint efforts of residents, utility workers, and organizations. Each participant contributed to creating a clean and welcoming atmosphere in the neighborhood. This is an example of how simple actions can bring tangible benefits and improve the quality of life in the city. It is planned that such events will continue to be held on a regular basis. District authorities intend to expand the scope of these cleanup days, involving more residents and organizations. Regular cleanup and beautification efforts help maintain the district and foster a caring attitude toward the urban environment. In addition, the possibility of holding themed environmental campaigns aimed at waste separation, tree planting, and the creation of new green spaces is being considered. This will not only improve the appearance of the area but also raise environmental awareness among the population. The cleanup day held on September 13, 2025, in the Yenbekshinsky District became a shining example of how the combined efforts of the government, utility services, organizations, and residents can transform the urban environment. The tidy streets, well-maintained green spaces, and clean sidewalks are all the result of this collaborative effort, which yielded tangible benefits. Keeping the city clean begins with each of us. Only through joint efforts can we create comfortable living conditions, where it's pleasant to walk, work, and raise children. The Yenbekshinsky District has once again proven that caring for cleanliness and the environment is the duty and responsibility of all citizens united by their love for their city.

The Saturday clean-up in Enbekshi district on September 13, 2025 was an important event aimed at improving the environmental situation and creating a comfortable environment for residents. During the Saturday clean-up, streets were cleaned, sidewalks were washed, and green areas were put in order. This event has increased the solidarity of the residents of the district and strengthened their responsibility for the environment. The Sabbath, which has made people understand that cleanliness and order are a shared responsibility, will continue in the future. Enbekshi district - clean environment, comfortable life!

On September 13, 2025, another cleanup day, organized by the city's Department of Agriculture, took place in Shymkent. The event was part of traditional weekly environmental campaigns aimed at maintaining cleanliness and order on the city's streets, improving the environmental situation, and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among the population. The main goal of the cleanup day is to improve street hygiene, beautify the surrounding area, and raise environmental awareness among city residents . With Shymkent rapidly growing and expanding, the issue of cleanliness and greenery is becoming especially pressing. Representatives of the Department of Agriculture emphasized that such events are not simply a waste collection, but an important element of environmental education for society and the creation of a comfortable urban environment. Another cleanup day took place on Bozzhyra Street . Department employees actively participated in cleaning roadside areas and ditch systems. During the work the following activities were carried out: cleaning ditches from household and construction waste, collection and removal of fallen leaves and broken branches, whitewashing tree trunks, improvement of green areas and roadside areas, leveling the shoulders and tidying up the roadway. All collected waste was packed into special bags and taken to the landfill by municipal services. The Department of Agriculture has been holding weekly cleanup days for several years now. This practice has become a good tradition, strengthening team spirit while making a significant contribution to the city's well-being. Regular events help systematically maintain cleanliness in various districts of Shymkent. This makes the streets more attractive and safer, and residents are gradually becoming accustomed to the idea that maintaining cleanliness is a shared responsibility. All department employees participated in the cleanup. Each was assigned a specific task: some cleaned ditches, others collected trash and leaves, and some maintained green spaces. According to participants, such events not only help make the city cleaner but also create an atmosphere of team cohesion. One employee noted: "We want to show by example that caring for the city is the responsibility of every resident. If everyone maintains order at least near their home or office, Shymkent will become much cleaner and more beautiful." The administration staff reminded that the city's cleanliness depends not only on public services, but also on the awareness of each citizen. During the clean-up day, passersby were given leaflets with the following slogans: do not throw garbage in unauthorized places, protect green spaces, do not clog the irrigation systems, actively participate in citywide environmental campaigns. Developing an environmental culture is a long process, and regular cleanup days play a vital role in this regard. Shymkent is one of the largest and most dynamically developing cities in Kazakhstan. New roads, residential complexes, parks, and recreation areas are being actively built here. However, along with the growth of infrastructure comes an increasing environmental burden. Cleanup days organized by the Department of Agriculture contribute to improving the urban environment. They not only help maintain sanitary conditions but also prevent the clogging of irrigation ditches, which subsequently reduces the risk of flooding during rainy seasons. At the end of the event, representatives of the Department of Agriculture called on city residents to be more responsible: throw garbage only into containers, keep courtyards and entrances clean, protect trees and shrubs, If possible, take part in clean-up days. "The city is our shared home. Its cleanliness and well-being depend on each of us.

On September 13, 2025, the Shymkent Department of Agriculture held its traditional Saturday cleanup. This time, the cleaning activities were carried out along Bozzhyra Street, and the department's employees contributed to improving the city's ecology. The main goal of the Saturday event is to maintain the cleanliness of the city, to form an ecological culture among residents, and to improve the appearance of the city . As the city expands day by day and new neighborhoods and streets appear, the issue of cleanliness is becoming especially important. As representatives of the Department of Agriculture noted, such cleanups are not only a way to clean the streets of garbage, but also a way to educate society about ecology. This week's Saturday was held along Bozzhyra Street . Workers cleaned the gutter systems of garbage, placed household waste collected from the curb in special bags, and transferred it to garbage trucks. During work: Garbage was removed from the ditches and ditches, The bases of the trees were whitewashed, collected leaves and broken branches were removed, Roadsides and green areas were cleaned. According to employees, the most important thing about such sabbaticals is the feeling of teamwork and unity. The Department of Agriculture has become a tradition of weekly Saturday cleanups. This good deed has been going on for several years. Each time, various streets, squares, and drainage systems in the city are cleaned, making the city cleaner and more comfortable. As a result of such systematic work, residents are also becoming accustomed to cleanliness and taking good care of the area in which they live. All departments of the department actively participated in the Sabbath. Each of them took a shovel, a broom, and a bag in their hands and worked together. According to many, such events raise the collective spirit and strengthen relationships with each other. "Our goal is not only to contribute to the cleanliness of the city, but also to set an example for young people. Every citizen should contribute to the beautification and development of their hometown as much as they can," says one of the department's employees. Cleanliness in the city depends not only on municipal services or government institutions, but on all residents. Therefore, during the Sabbath, employees explained to residents simple but important rules, such as not throwing garbage anywhere, protecting greenery, and not clogging drain systems. The formation of an ecological culture is a long-term process. For this, every Sabbath becomes an educational tool. Shymkent is a rapidly developing metropolis today. New roads, residential complexes, parks, and recreation areas are being built in the city. Along with such major changes, the issue of cleanliness and order should also be addressed first. The Saturday organized by the Department of Agriculture has contributed to the beautification of the city and the improvement of the environmental situation.

On September 12, 2025, large-scale sanitation work took place in Shymkent's Abay District. The event was organized as part of the city's environmental initiatives under the leadership of the Zhayly Orta department and with the active participation of the contractor , KazStroyKapital LLC . Over the course of one day, the company's employees completed a series of garbage collection and landscaping activities, making a significant contribution to improving the urban environment. The Abay District is one of the most densely populated areas of Shymkent, so maintaining cleanliness is especially important. During the one-day events on September 12, the following tasks were accomplished: collection and removal of household and construction waste to specialized landfills; clearing road shoulders and sidewalks of weeds and dry grass; Sanitary treatment and whitewashing of trees; improvement of green areas and planting of new plants. KazStroyKapital employees worked on several sections of the district simultaneously. Thanks to their organized approach, they were able to quickly restore order and improve the appearance of the streets. For several years now, the "Zhaily Orta" Department has been implementing comprehensive measures to improve the city's environmental situation. The department's primary mission is to create a comfortable, clean, and safe urban environment. The department's motto is "A clean city is the key to a comfortable life." Department representatives noted that such campaigns are not a one-off event, but part of a systematic effort that continues throughout the year. Contractors are assigned to each district, and their activities are strictly monitored. A key factor in the success of such events is the active participation of residents themselves. In the Abaysky District, many residents volunteered to participate. Some helped collect trash, while others helped improve their neighborhoods. Such civic engagement demonstrates the growing level of environmental awareness and public responsibility. After all, maintaining cleanliness is impossible without the participation of residents themselves. The organizers emphasize that cleaning and landscaping not only improve the city's appearance but also contribute to fostering environmental awareness. Unfortunately, the problem of unauthorized littering and neglect of green spaces remains pressing. In this regard, the Zhayly Orta administration intends to strengthen its educational efforts. Environmental lessons, events, and flash mobs are planned for schoolchildren and young people. It is expected that the younger generation will set an example for responsible stewardship of nature. On September 12, special attention was paid to landscaping the area. KazStroyKapital employees planted seedlings and maintained previously planted greenery. According to the plan, more than two thousand trees will be planted in the Abaysky District alone by the end of 2025. This will not only improve the aesthetic appearance of the district but also improve air quality and create favorable conditions for residents to relax. Shymkent is developing rapidly, with new roads, residential complexes, and social facilities being built. However, a modern metropolis is not only about infrastructure but also about environmental sustainability. Systematic sanitation and landscaping efforts are part of the city's long-term development strategy. Clean streets, green spaces, and landscaped courtyards directly impact the quality of life for residents and the city's appeal to visitors and investors. The Zhayly Orta administration declares its intention to continue its systematic work. Plans for the near future include holding similar events in all districts of Shymkent. By the end of 2025 it is planned: clear canals and river beds of debris; install additional waste bins and containers; create new squares and landscaped recreation areas; involve city residents in regular clean-up days and eco-campaigns. Thus, sanitary measures in the Abay district became only part of a larger plan aimed at improving the environmental situation throughout the city. The public works campaign held on September 12, 2025, in the Abay District demonstrated how effective collaboration between government agencies, contractors, and local residents can be. KazStroyKapital LLC completed a large volume of work in a single day, which had a positive impact on the overall appearance of the district. Most importantly, however, events like these remind all city residents that cleanliness and order begin with each of us. Only through joint efforts can we make Shymkent a truly clean and green metropolis. The "Zhaily Orta" administration calls on city residents to maintain order, protect nature, and actively participate in future environmental campaigns. After all, a clean city is a shared responsibility and a source of pride for every resident!

On September 12, 2025, another sanitary cleaning and landscaping work was organized in the Abay district of Shymkent. This event was held within the framework of the general environmental plans of the city's "Comfortable Environment" department. The main goal is to rid the district of garbage and create a comfortable and cozy environment for residents. Abay district is one of the largest districts of Shymkent. Due to the dense population here, the issue of cleanliness and environmental safety is of particular importance. In this regard, a number of specific works were carried out during the Saturday cleaning day organized on September 12: Waste was collected and disposed of in special landfills; Excess grass on roadsides and public areas was mowed; The bases of trees and shrubs were whitewashed and sanitary care was performed; Landscaping work was carried out to increase the greenery. The contractor, KazStroyCapital LLP, was involved in these works.

The Shymkent City Administration "Comfortable Environment" is a structure that consistently implements initiatives aimed at increasing environmental culture and improving the quality of life of residents. The main principle of the administration is "a clean city is a guarantee of a comfortable life." The work on September 12 was a clear demonstration of this principle. According to the department's specialists, the cleaning work is not just a one-time event, but continues in stages throughout the year. Responsible contracting organizations have been approved for each district, and their work is strictly monitored. The success of such Sabbaths is not limited to the efforts of government agencies or contracting organizations. The activity of local residents also plays an important role. In the Abay district, a number of residents also volunteered to participate in the cleanup efforts. They cleaned up the neighborhood around their homes and helped pick up trash from the streets. This is a clear sign of civic responsibility and love for their homeland. Another important goal of sanitation work in the city is to create an ecological culture. Currently, problems such as littering and neglect of green areas still occur. Therefore, the "Zhaylyi Orta" department plans to intensify explanatory work among the population. Environmental lectures and campaigns aimed especially at schoolchildren and young people will be held more often. These initiatives will strengthen the attitude of the younger generation towards protecting nature. During the weekend held on September 12, special attention was paid to landscaping. Employees of KazStroyCapital planted tree seedlings and watered previously planted greenery. It is planned to plant more than 2,000 trees in the Abay district by the end of the year. This will not only improve the beauty of the district, but also help improve air quality. Shymkent is a rapidly developing metropolis. Roads are being built here, new housing and social facilities are being built. However, an integral part of the city's development is cleanliness and environmental sustainability. That is why the ongoing cleaning and landscaping work is not just a sanitary measure, it is part of a long-term strategic direction for the city's development. The "Zhaylyi Orta" department will continue to systematically clean up not only in the Abay district, but throughout the city. The works planned until the end of 2025 include: Cleaning all the city's canals and riverbeds; Installing additional trash cans in public areas; Landscaping of new flower beds and parks; To involve local residents in regular Sabbath activities.

Specialists of KazStroyCapital LLP carried out extensive work in one day, improving the environmental condition of the district. This event is not just a one-day Sabbath, but part of a comprehensive effort aimed at improving the quality of life of city residents. The Shymkent City Administration and the "Zhaylyi Orta" Department call on residents to maintain an ecological culture, pay attention to cleanliness, and actively participate in the common cause. A clean city is our shared responsibility!

In Shymkent, efforts to reclaim land plots used in violation of the law have intensified. One striking example is the situation with the Ken Baba Park, which has become the subject of legal proceedings and public attention. Ken Baba Park is one of the most famous and beloved recreation areas for residents and visitors to the city. Located in central Shymkent, it was originally conceived as a public space for walks, family leisure, and cultural events. However, in recent years, part of the park's territory has become occupied by commercial properties. This land plot was previously leased to the limited liability partnership "Almaty-Sapar." According to the agreement, the land was provided for temporary use to establish a center for aesthetic and cultural education for children and adolescents. This goal fully aligned with the city's interests and envisioned a socially significant project. However, after the lease expired, the company failed to vacate the site and continued to use the land. Furthermore, the actual use of the land was inconsistent with the stated purposes, raising concerns among the public and authorities. In connection with the violation identified, the city administration filed a lawsuit, demanding that the tenant be compelled to return the site to its original condition. The case was heard in the specialized inter-district economic court of Shymkent. A legal review of all documents related to the land plot was conducted in response to the claim filed by the city's Department of Land Resources Management. The court found that the title documents previously issued to Almaty-Sapar LLC had become invalid and could not serve as the basis for further land use. By the court's decision, the title documents for the plot located at 68/1 G. Ilyaev Street, Al-Farabi District, were declared invalid . Thus, the entrepreneur no longer had any legal basis for owning and exploiting the territory. After the court decision entered into force, the process of actually returning the land plot to state ownership began. Today, work is underway to dismantle and demolish illegally erected structures within the Ken Baba Park. Utility specialists and contractors are working within the approved plan to clear the land of permanent and temporary structures as quickly as possible. The task is not limited to simply clearing the site. It is important to restore the area to its original appearance so that it can once again fulfill its public purpose – serving as part of the city's recreational zone. The situation around Ken Baba Park clearly demonstrates the pressing need to preserve public lands. Every hectare of urban land is a resource that must be used in the public interest. Illegal occupation or commercial exploitation of land deprives residents of their right to access public spaces. The return of the site to state ownership not only restores justice but also takes a step toward developing an ecologically sustainable urban environment. Once vacated, Ken Baba Park will become an even more attractive destination for recreation, sports, and cultural events. Efforts to identify and rectify land use violations are carried out systematically. The Department of Land Resources Management, in conjunction with the city administration, regularly conducts inspections, analyzes lease agreements, and identifies instances of unauthorized land seizures. To date, dozens of cases have been identified in Shymkent alone where tenants have either exceeded their authority or continued to use land after their leases expired. Legal action is being taken for each such incident, ranging from warnings to legal action. Authorities emphasize that such actions are not directed against businesses per se, but against violations of the law. Law-abiding entrepreneurs who use land plots for their intended purpose and within the lease terms can be assured that their rights will be protected. However, any attempts to illegally seize or exploit land will be strictly suppressed. The city administration and the prosecutor's office have repeatedly appealed to residents and businesses to respect the law and take care of public spaces. Public oversight plays an equally important role here. It is thanks to complaints and the active participation of citizens that violations are identified and addressed promptly. Every city resident has the right to report instances of illegal construction or improper land use. Such reports are reviewed in accordance with established procedures, and if the allegations are confirmed, appropriate action is taken. The return of the Ken Baba Park site to state ownership is an important precedent, demonstrating that Shymkent is systematically working to protect public interests. The court declared the title documents of Almaty-Sapar LLC invalid. The dismantling of illegal buildings has begun. The site is being returned to the city and will be restored to its original form. This case has become a warning sign for anyone attempting to use public lands for private purposes. Land is a national treasure, and its rational use is only possible with strict adherence to the law.

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.

On September 7, 2025, an important environmental event was held in Shymkent, aimed at improving the city's sanitary conditions and fostering a culture of cleanliness among the population. The event was initiated by employees of the Department of the Penitentiary System (DUIS), as well as employees of correctional facilities No. 53, No. 54, No. 56, No. 69, and No. 78, and representatives of the probation service. They joined forces and held a mass cleanup day , demonstrating an example of active civic engagement. Organizers note that the main goal of the event is not only to clean up the area, but also to develop a strong understanding among city residents that a clean environment is the key to a bright future . Keeping the city clean isn't the sole responsibility of municipal services. It's a shared responsibility for the entire community, and every resident plays a role in shaping Shymkent's future. The cleanup day was a great opportunity to remind everyone of this. During the clean-up day, a lot of work was done: Public area cleanup. Streets, sidewalks, courtyards, adjacent areas, and public recreation areas were cleared of debris. Green space maintenance. Weeds were trimmed, trees and shrubs were tidied, flower beds and lawns were resurfaced. Cleaning of ditches and canals. Irrigation systems are now open, which directly impacts sanitary conditions and prevents dirt accumulation. Environmental education. During the event, participants and local residents discussed the importance of caring for the environment. As a result, several tons of garbage were removed, and dozens of yards and plots were improved. The DUIS staff demonstrated a high level of organization and responsibility, setting an example of discipline and teamwork. Correctional facility employees also took an active part, demonstrating that caring for the city can and should be a shared responsibility. The probation service played a special role: its representatives not only worked alongside everyone else, but also conducted preventative discussions with the involved citizens about the importance of maintaining cleanliness and order, starting from the everyday level. Thus, the event became a platform for bringing together various departments and specialists, who, through their joint efforts, made a tangible contribution to the improvement of Shymkent. A cleanup isn't just about picking up trash. It's an act of community cohesion and civic responsibility. It has a significant educational impact, especially for young people. When children see adults uniting to keep their city clean, they learn to respect the environment and adopt healthy habits. It's these kinds of events that shape the environmental culture of future generations. Cleanliness is an indicator of a society's level of development. If everyone treats the city as their own home, order will become the norm. The event was held under the slogan: "A clean environment is the key to a bright future." These words capture the central idea: caring for nature and the city is directly linked to people's quality of life. Health, comfort, and the attractive appearance of streets are all the result of teamwork. Environmental campaigns help to create a sense of belonging and responsibility for the common space in society. DUIS representatives stated that such cleanup days will be held regularly. Plans include expanding the geography of the events, actively engaging the public, and conducting greening campaigns. Particular attention will be paid to tree planting and green space maintenance, which will make a significant contribution to improving the city's ecology. Furthermore, we plan to collaborate with educational institutions to engage schoolchildren and students in similar events. This will help raise a new generation for whom cleanliness will become a norm. September 7, 2025, can be considered the day when another step was taken toward creating an environmentally responsible society. The cleanup demonstrated that residents and government agencies can unite for a common goal. This initiative not only improved the appearance of individual streets and courtyards but also raised public awareness. People were reminded that maintaining cleanliness depends on each of us . The cleanup day proved once again that when different organizations work together, the results are immediately noticeable. Hundreds of participants contributed to the city's improvement, setting an example of responsibility and unity. A clean city is a reflection of the culture and consciousness of its residents. If every person maintains order at their own level—in their yard, on the street, at work—then Shymkent will become an even more attractive and comfortable place to live. The organizers expressed hope that the event will become a good tradition and inspire many city residents to join similar events. After all, only through joint efforts can we ensure a clean, green, and safe future for our children and grandchildren.
