A cleanup day in the Al-Farabi district as part of the Clean Kazakhstan campaign 09.09.2025
On September 9, 2025, the Al-Farabi District Prosecutor's Office organized a large-scale cleanup day as part of the national "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign and the "Law and Order" concept. The event was attended by prosecutors, utility service representatives, young people, volunteers, and a specially formed "Guardians of Cleanliness" unit. During the cleanup, special attention was paid to the work of the "Guardians of Cleanliness" community group. Their task was not only to restore order but also to identify illegal graffiti and graffiti promoting drugs. During the raid, activists recorded approximately 20 such graffiti . All information was immediately reported to the police and registered in the automated AEK system. Such graffiti poses a serious threat to society: they can foster misconceptions among young people and encourage drug trafficking. Therefore, combating such practices has become a key focus of the campaign. According to the prosecutor's office, recently alone, district utilities have received approximately 500 reports of violations related to public welfare and public order. As a result of inspections, over 400 administrative reports were issued, and violators were held accountable in accordance with the law. Moreover, in one of the cases, a crime was committed, and the case materials were submitted to court. The trial resulted in a verdict, clearly demonstrating the inevitability of punishment for unlawful actions. These figures demonstrate that law enforcement efforts are being carried out systematically, and that prosecutorial authorities respond to every signal received from the public or public utilities. In their appeal, representatives of the district prosecutor's office emphasized that maintaining cleanliness and law and order is impossible without the active participation of residents themselves. Every citizen should feel personally responsible for the condition of their courtyard, street, neighborhood, and the city as a whole. If people report violations promptly, maintain order in their areas, and show zero tolerance for illegal activity, life in the city will become significantly more comfortable and safer. As a reminder, the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is being held throughout the country and is aimed at improving the environmental situation, improving cities and towns, eliminating illegal dumps, and fostering environmental awareness among the population. In the Al-Farabi district, this event took on a special meaning, as it incorporated elements of crime prevention. Thus, the cleanup day became not only an environmental but also a social and legal event. As noted by representatives of the prosecutor's office and local authorities, a well-maintained and safe city is the foundation for the region's stable development. Clean streets and parks contribute to improved public health, a higher quality of life, and a positive image of the city. Law and order create confidence in the future and allow people to work, study, and raise their children in peace. Therefore, actions that combine environmental concerns and respect for the law are of strategic importance. A key part of the cleanup day was the participation of young people—schoolchildren, college students, and university students from the district. Young people enthusiastically helped clean the streets, clear the yards, and paint the fences and facades. They carried posters reading "Cleanliness is a Mirror of Culture" and actively participated in outreach efforts. Volunteers also distributed informational leaflets about the dangers of drugs, reminding residents that only by working together can we stop illegal propaganda and protect the younger generation from dangerous temptations. The cleanup day in the Al-Farabi district became a significant event, uniting the efforts of the government, law enforcement, utility services, and ordinary citizens. It demonstrated that cleanliness and law and order are not one-time events, but a daily commitment that requires everyone's attention. The organizers assured that similar events will continue, and that interaction with the public will become even more active. Safety and law and order are our shared responsibility. The city's cleanliness and safety depend on our vigilance, awareness, and civic engagement.
A Saturday rally was held in Al-Farabi district as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign 09.09.2025
On September 9 , 2025, the Al-Farabi District Prosecutor's Office organized a large-scale Saturday as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign and the "Law and Order" concept. In addition to residents of the district, a specially created group of "Guardians of Cleanliness", representatives of law enforcement agencies and public utilities actively participated in this event. During the campaign, a special highlight was the active work of the "Cleanliness Guards". They traveled around different areas of the city, identifying illegal posts promoting drugs. As a result, about 20 posts were found and promptly reported to the police. This information was duly registered and entered into the AEC database. The emergence of such inscriptions can have a negative impact on the minds of young people and pave the way for bad behavior in society. Therefore, preventing such illegal actions is not only the responsibility of law enforcement agencies, but also the responsibility of society as a whole. According to the district prosecutor's office, to date, about 500 reports have been received from municipal employees. Based on them, more than 400 administrative protocols have been drawn up, and appropriate measures have been taken against citizens who violated the law. In addition, one case was recognized as criminal and sent to court. As a result, a court verdict was issued, and the guilty person was brought to justice. These data demonstrate the importance of maintaining legal order and the systematic nature of the work carried out by the prosecutor's office. The Al-Farabi District Prosecutor's Office calls on residents to demonstrate an active civic stance. After all, cleanliness and safety are the shared responsibility of not only government agencies, but also of every resident. If every citizen keeps their yard and street clean and promptly reports illegal activities, city life will be much safer and more comfortable. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is widely known throughout the republic and continues in many regions. This initiative is aimed at protecting the environment, improving urban and rural areas, eliminating illegal landfills, and forming an ecological culture among young people. The Saturday clean-up in the Al-Farabi district was organized as part of this campaign and was not limited to cleaning measures, but also contributed to strengthening law and order. As representatives of the city administration and the prosecutor's office noted, the safety of residents and maintaining public order are the main conditions for sustainable development. Cleanliness is not only an aesthetic requirement, it also directly affects the health of the population, the quality of life, and the future of children. In this regard, the district prosecutor's office urges residents to immediately report any violations to the police or special hotlines. The event also involved school and college students from the district. Under the slogan "Cleanliness is a mirror of culture," they helped clean the streets of garbage and paint. The activity of young people was an important example for the future of society. Young volunteers also conducted outreach among residents and distributed information leaflets about the dangers of drugs. This Sabbath cleaning in the Al-Farabi district was not just a cleaning event, it was an important step towards maintaining order in society, educating young people, and increasing the civic responsibility of residents. The district prosecutor's office announced that it will continue such measures in the future and work together with residents. Security and law and order are our shared responsibility. The cleanliness and safety of our city depend on our vigilance and activity.
SHYMKENT: DISINFECTION WORKS IN ALTYNTèBE 09.09.2025
On September 9, 2025, scheduled disinfection of livestock buildings took place in the Altyntebe residential complex, located in the Abay District of Shymkent. These activities were part of a comprehensive program to prevent infectious diseases in domestic animals and improve the sanitary conditions of rural areas. The main objective of the work was to prevent the spread of infections and create safe conditions for farm animals. Small and large farms, as well as private backyards where cows, sheep, goats, horses, and poultry are kept, were completely sanitized. Special disinfectant solutions were used, certified and safe for both animals and humans. The treatment included spraying the walls, floors, equipment, feeders, and waterers. This ensured the destruction of pathogens, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. Regular disinfection plays a key role in preventing dangerous diseases such as brucellosis, foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, leptospirosis and other infections that can spread among farm animals and pose a threat to human health. Veterinary service representatives emphasized that preventative measures are cheaper and more effective than treating existing outbreaks. Furthermore, systematic treatment of farms reduces the likelihood of epizootics and maintains the region's veterinary and sanitary status. Along with the disinfection, specialists conducted educational talks with local residents. Livestock owners were briefed on proper animal care and barn maintenance. Particular attention was paid to the following issues: timely removal of manure and waste; regular ventilation and drying of premises; preventing overcrowding of animals; safe storage of feed; the need for preventive vaccinations and treatment of animals against parasites. Residents were also reminded of the risks associated with poor sanitary standards. Many infectious diseases are transmitted to humans through milk, meat, or contact with animals. Therefore, preventative measures in livestock facilities protect not only the animals but also the people themselves. The event was attended by specialists from the Abay District veterinary service, staff from the sanitary and epidemiological station, and representatives of local authorities. Several dozen farms were treated, and consultations with Altyntebe residents were also held. It's important to note that this isn't the first time such work has been carried out. Throughout the year, zalalsyzdandyru has been implemented in stages in all populated areas of the district. This systematic approach allows us to keep the situation under control and reduce the risk of mass outbreaks. Local authorities plan to expand the geography of such events, purchase additional equipment for disinfecting premises, and introduce more modern disinfectants. For many residents of Altyntube, livestock farming remains an important source of income. Rural families keep livestock not only for their own consumption but also to sell dairy and meat products at market. Therefore, caring for the animals' health directly impacts household income. Local farmers responded positively to the campaign. They said disinfection helps reduce animal treatment costs, increases livestock productivity, and improves product quality. Disinfection measures also contribute to improving the sanitary conditions of the entire community. Timely treatment of premises reduces the number of insects and rodents, which often carry infections. Furthermore, monitoring the condition of barns helps maintain a clean environment. Experts emphasize that the success of such measures depends on the shared responsibility of the state and the public. While government agencies organize systematic disinfection, residents themselves must adhere to sanitary regulations on a regular basis. This is the only way to ensure sustainable results and protect animals and people from infections. September 9, 2025, was further proof that preventative measures in livestock farming are key to the health of the entire region. Disinfection in Altyntebe was successful: farms were disinfected, residents received useful information, and the sanitary conditions of the community significantly improved. Routine disinfection of livestock facilities is not a formality, but a vital necessity. Such measures help prevent dangerous diseases, maintain the health of animals and people, and maintain the environmental cleanliness of villages and urban outskirts. The Shymkent Veterinary and Sanitary Department, together with Zhayly Orta and other agencies, will continue its work in this direction. In the future, it plans to cover all districts of the city and ensure stable epizootic and sanitary conditions in the region. For Altyntebe residents, the events served as a reminder that caring for animals and keeping yards clean is part of a shared culture and a guarantee of a safe life for the entire community.
SHYMKENT: PLANNED DISINFECTION WORKS WERE CARRIED OUT IN ALTYNTOBE 09.09.2025
On September 9, 2025, planned disinfection of livestock barns was carried out in the Altyntobe residential area of the Abay district of Shymkent city. This event was carried out in accordance with the joint action plan of the district akimat and the city veterinary service and was aimed at preventing infectious diseases and ensuring sanitary cleanliness in rural areas. Maintaining epizootic stability in livestock farming in the region is one of the main tasks. During the disinfection, the barns were treated with special disinfectant solutions. These solutions are safe for animals and humans, and are also effective in destroying various bacteria and viruses. The walls, floors, and equipment of the barns were thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with special equipment. This method allows you to prevent the spread of dangerous diseases that are common among livestock. According to experts, such work is primarily aimed at preventing diseases such as brucellosis, foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, and pasteurellosis. These diseases are dangerous not only for livestock, but also for human health. Therefore, systematic processing of livestock housing is one way for residents to protect their lives. Since livestock farming is the main source of income for the population in rural areas, the prevention of epidemics is of great importance not only from a medical but also from a socio-economic perspective. In addition to disinfection, veterinary specialists conducted educational activities with residents. They reminded them of the basic rules for maintaining stables: keep the barns constantly ventilated and dry; timely removal of manure; do not overcrowd livestock; keep food and water in a clean place; Timely vaccination and treatment of livestock against parasites. Local residents were also provided with detailed information about the risk of infectious diseases being transmitted to humans. For example, diseases such as brucellosis or tuberculosis can be transmitted to humans through improperly stored milk or meat. Therefore, strict adherence to preventive measures is a common responsibility for everyone. On this day, dozens of barns were completely cleaned. Special equipment and professionals were involved, and all measures were carried out in accordance with sanitary requirements. The veterinary service of the Abai district noted that such work is not limited to Altyntobe, but will continue in other settlements of the district in the future. This systematic approach will allow us to keep the epizootic situation under control. Residents of Altyntobe expressed their gratitude for the work done. They say that in recent years, thanks to regular disinfection, dangerous diseases among livestock have decreased and product quality has improved. Livestock owners say that they can not only reduce their costs, but also safely bring their products to market. For some residents, this event was an important reminder to take responsibility for animal care. Disinfection has a positive effect not only on animal health, but also on the sanitary situation in the village. Special solutions limit the reproduction of harmful insects and reduce the number of rodents. This, in turn, improves living conditions and increases the quality of life of rural residents. According to experts, the effectiveness of such measures depends not only on the work of state bodies, but also on the activity of the population. If the population complies with daily sanitary requirements, the effectiveness of disinfection will be much higher. Therefore, the responsibility of each animal owner is especially important. The veterinary service of Shymkent plans to conduct scheduled disinfection in all rural areas of the Abay district by the end of the year. It is also planned to use new modern solutions and organize training seminars for the population. In addition, the veterinary service and the sanitary and epidemiological station will jointly increase the provision of free consultations to livestock owners. This will increase the literacy of the population and provide additional opportunities for disease prevention. The disinfection work carried out in the Altyntobe residential area on September 9, 2025, made a significant contribution to improving the veterinary and sanitary situation in the area. The stables, fully treated with special solutions, helped create a safe environment for both livestock and humans. It is worth noting that this measure is not a one-time event, but part of systematic work. Such prevention ensures the sustainability of agricultural development, protects the health of the population, and improves the environmental situation. The Shymkent city administration and veterinary service announced that they will continue such planned activities in the future and provide comprehensive support to the villagers.
SHYMKENT: RESULTS OF THE WORK OF THE ZHAYLY ORTA DEPARTMENT 09.09.2025
On September 9, 2025, a comprehensive series of events were held in Shymkent aimed at improving natural features, strengthening utility infrastructure, and creating a more comfortable urban environment. The work covered the city's key waterways—the Badam and Koshkar-Ata rivers, as well as the Kausar Canal. All of these facilities play a vital role in the city's ecological system and in providing residents with water, green spaces, and comfortable public spaces. The Badam River is one of Shymkent's main rivers, maintaining its ecological balance and serving as a strategic source of water for the city's water system. On this day, work was carried out in three sections simultaneously – the second, third, and fourth stages. The main goal of the work was to strengthen the bankline, preventing erosion and reducing the risk of flooding during flood periods. Specialists are using both concrete blocks and natural materials, ensuring the durability and stability of the structure. The project also includes landscaping the surrounding area, including planting trees and shrubs and creating green areas along the banks. Thus, the river stabilization measures not only serve a protective function but also contribute to the greening of the city, improving its ecological appearance. The Koshkar-Ata River holds special significance for Shymkent: it's not just a body of water, but a historical and cultural landmark, a favorite recreation spot for both residents and tourists. Therefore, maintaining its cleanliness and well-maintained condition is a priority for the city's program. On September 9, work on the first and second stages was underway. Extensive riverbed cleanup activities were carried out: excess vegetation was mown, bottom sediment was removed, and household waste was removed. Improvements were also carried out on the banks: pedestrian paths were repaired and maintained, and new benches were installed for recreation. All this makes the river not only safe but also attractive for walks and leisure. Along with major rivers, attention is also paid to the city's irrigation system. The Kausar Canal is one of the most important elements of this system; its condition determines the water supply to green spaces and agricultural lands located near Shymkent. Currently, work has been completed in the first and second stages. Part of the canal was cleared, culverts were adjusted, and the riverbed was improved. These measures are directly linked to the development of the urban ecosystem, as water from the canal is used to irrigate parks, squares, and street plantings. Maintaining the canal in good condition promotes the growth of greenery and the creation of a comfortable urban environment. All events are coordinated by the city's "Zhaily Orta" department, which is responsible for landscaping, greening, and environmental development in Shymkent. The department's main goal is to create conditions for a clean, safe, and comfortable life for city residents. According to experts, maintaining rivers, canals, and green spaces is not a one-time initiative, but an ongoing, systematic effort. Regular activities not only improve the environmental situation but also enhance residents' comfort. When rivers are clean, their banks are fortified, and canals are maintained, the risk of natural disasters is reduced and the city is more resilient to climate change. Community participation remains a key aspect of such projects. The "Zhaily Orta" administration repeatedly emphasizes that maintaining cleanliness and order in the city is only possible through the joint efforts of the government and the public. Therefore, residents are encouraged to respect nature, avoid polluting water bodies, and participate in environmental campaigns and cleanup days. In recent years, Shymkent has seen a growing environmental awareness. Mass tree planting and courtyard and park cleanup events are increasingly common. These initiatives are not only a practical contribution to urban improvement but also an important factor in fostering public responsibility. The work carried out on September 9 is only part of a large-scale program to develop the city's infrastructure. Plans call for all stages of the Badam River fortification to be completed by the end of 2025, significantly reducing the risk of flooding and inundation. For the Koshkar-Ata, plans call for an expanded recreation area and the construction of new playgrounds for residents and visitors. As for the Kausar Canal, plans call for the implementation of new engineering solutions to improve water quality and optimize its distribution. Thus, in the coming years, Shymkent residents will have safer and more comfortable spaces for living and recreation. The events held on September 9, 2025, demonstrated a high level of organization and a systematic approach to environmental and public welfare issues. The work on the Badam and Qoshqar-Ata rivers, as well as the Kausar Canal, made a significant contribution to improving the urban environment. These actions have a dual significance: they strengthen the city's engineering defenses while simultaneously making it cleaner, more beautiful, and more livable. The "Zhaily Orta" administration stated that it will continue to pay attention to every detail—from the condition of water bodies to the quality of public spaces. For Shymkent, such projects are not only a concern for the present but also an investment in the future: an environmentally sustainable, green, and comfortable metropolis that is pleasant to live in and a source of pride.

The Kazakhstani specialists were particularly interested in the sections displaying rare ornamental shrubs and trees resistant to climate change. The next stop on the trip was the arboretum in the village of Shekvetili. This relatively young but dynamically developing park is distinguished by its rich subtropical flora. It is home to dozens of species of ornamental shrubs and trees, many of which were introduced from various regions of the world. Shekvetili is increasingly developing as an international scientific and experimental center. For Shymkent specialists, learning about its collection and plant care methods has been a valuable experience that will later be adapted to the conditions of southern Kazakhstan. The key outcome of the visit was the signing of a bilateral memorandum of scientific cooperation between the Shymkent Arboretum and its Georgian partners. The document provides for: exchange of seeds and seedlings; joint scientific research; conducting seminars and practical courses; internships and advanced training for young specialists. Thus, the parties confirmed their intention not only to exchange practical developments, but also to strengthen international ties in the field of biodiversity conservation. The scientific mission ended with concrete achievements: 50 new species of introduced shrubs and trees have been added to the Shymkent arboretum fund; An order has been placed to obtain approximately 100 new plant species; An agreement was reached on a regular exchange of seed material. These results create conditions for a significant expansion of the arboretum's biological diversity and form the basis for new research on the adaptation of exotic species to the climate of Southern Kazakhstan. Participants said the trip opened up new prospects for advancing scientific research and strengthening cultural ties. In the context of global climate change, sharing experiences between countries is particularly important. Comparing the specifics of plant cultivation in subtropical and continental conditions will help more effectively address urban greening and environmental protection. Particular attention is paid to training young professionals. International internships, participation in joint projects, and the exchange of scientific publications contribute to the professional development of specialists.

Shymkent's cycling infrastructure is developing: the bike path on Baydibek Avenue has received modern lighting. 07.09.2025
On September 7, 2025, lighting installation along the bike path and pedestrian area on Baidybek Bi Avenue in the Shymkent City microdistrict was completed. 124 modern lighting poles were installed, making the area safer, more comfortable, and more attractive for city residents. Previously, the bike path and sidewalk were commissioned without proper lighting. Despite this, they were actively used by residents: young people rode bicycles and scooters, parents took walks with their children, and older residents chose the alley for morning and evening strolls. However, the lack of lighting at night created certain inconveniences and even safety risks. Now, thanks to the installed streetlights, the situation has changed dramatically. In the evening and at night, the road section is illuminated evenly, allowing cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers to feel more confident. Lighting is not only a convenience but also a crucial safety feature. According to experts, well-lit streets reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents and help prevent crime. This is especially true for new neighborhoods in the city, where populations are rapidly growing and traffic is increasing. The Shymkent administration is systematically developing sports and pedestrian infrastructure. Bike paths are becoming an integral part of the urban environment. Cycling and active outdoor walks are not only an accessible form of physical activity but also an important element of a healthy lifestyle. Modern research shows that regular cycling strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. For children, it's a great alternative to spending too much time on gadgets, and for adults, it's a low-cost way to stay physically fit. Creating comfortable conditions for outdoor sports is directly linked to the goals of national programs to build a healthy nation. This is why Shymkent places great emphasis not only on the construction of sports complexes but also on the development of courtyard, street, and cycling infrastructure. Equally important, the popularization of cycling has a positive impact on the city's environment. Bicycles emit no exhaust fumes, create no noise pollution, and take up less space on roads and in parking lots. For Shymkent, where the number of cars is growing annually, developing a cycling culture is becoming a strategic priority. The more residents choose cycling as an alternative mode of transport for short trips, the cleaner and safer the city's air will be. The installed lighting poles are equipped with energy-saving lamps and a modern power supply system. According to specialists, the new luminaires are durable, energy-efficient, and provide high illumination. This will reduce the burden on the city budget and ensure the stable operation of the system in the long term. Maintenance and regular monitoring of the equipment are also provided. In the event of malfunctions, prompt repairs will be carried out, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the lighting. Local residents greeted the news of the completion of the lighting installation with enthusiasm. A resident of the Aigul Zh. microdistrict shared: "We often come here for walks with the kids. It used to be uncomfortable in the dark, and we had to go home early. Now it's bright and safe, the kids can ride longer, and we feel more at ease." And student Arman, who uses a bicycle every day, noted: "This bike path has been a real godsend for us. Now I can ride safely in the evenings after school. I hope similar projects will appear in other parts of the city." The installation of lighting on Baidybek Bi Avenue is part of a comprehensive improvement program for Shymkent. In recent years, the city has been rapidly developing: new parks, alleys, and sports grounds are being built, roads are being repaired, and modern residential areas are being constructed. Particular attention is paid to creating a comfortable environment for living and recreation. City authorities emphasize that the administration's goal is to make Shymkent a modern metropolis where every resident feels safe and has the opportunity to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Thus, the installation of 124 lighting poles along the bike path and sidewalk on Baydibek Bi Avenue is not just a technical innovation, but an important step toward creating a modern, safe, and environmentally friendly urban environment. The new facility has become a clear example of how infrastructure solutions can impact residents' quality of life. Residents of the Shymkent City microdistrict can now use the bike path and pedestrian area at any time of day, enjoying walks and sports. The city administration is confident that such projects strengthen citizen trust and foster a culture of responsible ownership of their city. Shymkent is moving toward becoming one of the most convenient and environmentally friendly cities in the country, and the development of cycling infrastructure plays a vital role in this process.
THE CYCLE PATH IN THE FAME OF BAIDIBEK BI IS ILLUMINATED 07.09.2025
On September 7, 2025 , 124 modern light poles were installed on the bicycle lane on Baidibek Bi Avenue, located in the Shymkent City microdistrict of Shymkent. This innovation has become an important event for residents. Because now the bicycle lane and pedestrian areas will be convenient and safe to use not only during the day, but also at night. In recent years, the city administration has been paying special attention to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the development of mass sports, and the use of environmentally friendly means of transport. A bicycle is not only a sports tool, but also a convenient means of transport in a modern city. Therefore, the construction of bicycle paths and their lighting are one of the main directions of infrastructure projects in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue was put into operation last year. At that time, residents and guests of the city welcomed this initiative with great joy. However, the issue of lighting has long been relevant. The darkness of the road posed a certain danger, especially for citizens who went for an evening walk or cycling at night. Now this problem has been completely resolved. The installed 124 light poles are equipped with modern energy-saving technologies. These lights: has a long-term use; allows you to save energy; Provides sufficient light levels without causing eye damage; Works effectively in various weather conditions. In addition, the design of the new lights also meets modern standards. This will not only beautify the city's appearance, but also improve the quality of the overall infrastructure. The lighting of the pedestrian and bicycle paths will allow residents to actively relax even in the evening. This is especially a great joy for residents who have made it a habit to take walks with their families. As representatives of the city's cycling association noted, the installation of traffic lights will not only ensure safety, but also help attract more people to an active lifestyle. Because a safe environment is a factor that directly affects people's regular participation in sports. Comfortable and safe bicycle paths also contribute to the development of a traffic culture in the city. Previously, some cyclists were forced to share the road with cars after dark. This, in turn, increased the risk of traffic accidents. Now, the lighting of the bicycle path has reduced this risk and created favorable conditions for all traffic participants. In addition, this initiative encourages the frequent use of environmentally friendly transport - bicycles. The development of an environmentally friendly, affordable mode of transport is part of the sustainable development strategy of the Shymkent akimat. The city administration pays special attention to the development of mass sports. In recent years, new sports grounds, outdoor fitness areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths have been built and put into operation in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a place that not only improves health for residents, but also allows them to spend their free time effectively. Cycling and running are becoming a habit, especially among young people. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the ecological situation of the city. The city's residents are expressing warm comments about the installation of new lights. Photos and videos posted on social media show residents' joy. Many support this initiative and express confidence that work on lighting other streets and bike paths will continue. The city administration plans to continue implementing infrastructure projects systematically in the future. In particular, measures aimed at ensuring public safety will be in focus. A special plan has been developed in Shymkent to build new bicycle paths, repair existing roads, and expand lighting. At the same time, the city authorities will continue to hold various events, cycling tours, and sports festivals to encourage residents to participate in mass sports. All of these events will not only improve the health of residents, but also revitalize the social life of the city. The lighting of the bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a big step towards the safety and comfort of city residents. This project is a clear demonstration of Shymkent's development as a modern metropolis. The bicycle path and pedestrian path, equipped with 124 light poles, will provide residents with comfortable conditions for evening walks, sports, and spending time in the fresh air. Such measures taken by the city administration will undoubtedly continue in the future.
CITYWIDE CLEAN-UP EVENT IN SHYMKENT: CONTRIBUTION OF THE LAND RELATIONS DEPARTMENT 07.09.2025
On September 6, 2025, Shymkent held its latest citywide cleanup day. This traditional environmental campaign brought together employees from all city agencies: public utilities, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, as well as representatives from various departments and agencies. The main goal of the event was to improve the city's sanitary conditions, beautify public spaces, and foster environmental awareness among the population. Among the active participants in the cleanup day was the staff of the Shymkent City Land Relations Department. This department was assigned a separate section of the site, where employees carried out a range of sanitary cleanup activities. Particular attention was paid to removing household waste, cleaning sidewalks and roadside areas, and tidying up public spaces used daily by city residents. The Department's staff participated in the cleanup day in full force, demonstrating a high level of collective discipline and social responsibility. Through their joint efforts, they set an example of caring for the environment and emphasized the importance of each person's personal contribution to the cleanliness and well-being of the city. During the cleanup, special attention was paid to the condition of irrigation systems. The Land Relations Department organized cleaning of ditches and canals that provide water to green spaces. Timely cleaning of irrigation canals ensures uninterrupted water supply, prevents blockages, and improves the urban environment. Thus, the employees' efforts were not limited to simply removing trash. Their contribution to maintaining the irrigation systems is directly linked to the preservation and development of the city's green spaces. The event organizers emphasized that the citywide cleanup day is not only practical but also educational. The participation of government officials, including the Land Relations Department, is aimed at instilling in the population the habit of keeping public spaces clean and caring for the environment. During the event, department staff called on city residents to maintain order not only during cleanup days but also in their everyday lives. They emphasized that a clean city begins with each resident's yard, and environmental awareness is formed through simple habits—not littering, cleaning up after yourself, and preserving green spaces. The Head of the Land Relations Department noted that participation in the cleanup day is an important step toward strengthening team spirit and cohesion. He explained that such events help employees demonstrate social activism, increase their sense of responsibility, and simultaneously make a tangible contribution to the city's improvement. "We believe that cleanliness and order are the hallmarks of any metropolis. How Shymkent is seen by visitors and perceived by residents depends on us. Therefore, participating in cleanup days is not a formality, but our civic duty," the director emphasized. The department's staff also addressed the city's residents with an open appeal: "The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. If every resident maintains order in their home, yard, or workplace, Shymkent's overall appearance will become even more attractive." According to them, cleanup days should not be viewed as a one-off event, but as part of an overall city development strategy. A responsible attitude toward the environment not only contributes to improvements in the environment but also improves quality of life. As a result of the cleanup, several tons of household waste were collected and removed from the city. Sidewalks, courtyards, roadside areas, and irrigation canals were cleared. Green spaces received additional care. Local utility services ensured the timely removal of collected waste, and residents received a clear example of how, through joint efforts, the city can be made cleaner. The Shymkent mayor's office announced that such events will be held regularly. The main goal is not only to restore order but also to engage residents in fostering a culture of cleanliness and responsibility. The citywide cleanup event held on September 6, 2025, was a shining example of collaboration between city agencies and the active participation of Land Relations Department staff. The department's staff made a significant contribution to the city's sanitary conditions by cleaning the assigned area and irrigation systems. Initiatives like these demonstrate that cleanliness and order in the metropolis depend on the joint efforts of the government and the public. The example of the department's staff underscores that sustainable results can only be achieved through the personal involvement of each individual. Today, Shymkent is a dynamically developing metropolis, and caring for its appearance, sanitation, and the environment should be a priority for all residents. Cleanup days are becoming an integral part of this process, uniting people around a common goal: to create a clean, well-maintained, and livable city.
