"Clean Thursday" environmental campaign held in Shymkent 05.11.2025
On November 5, 2025, the “Clean Thursday” environmental campaign continued in the Turan district of Shymkent. This event was organized to educate the city's residents in environmental culture, keep the environment clean, and preserve greenery. It was held in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building on Senbilik Adyrbekov Street. More than 30 citizens participated in the event. They were provided with special equipment, and each participant did their part, cleaning and tidying up the yard and the surrounding area. Participants cleaned the ditches, mowed the grass, swept the yard, and tidied up the general area. They also collected garbage and put it in special bags. During the cleaning, special attention was paid to greenery, flower beds, and trees. Such work contributes to the proper growth of greenery and helps keep the air clean. According to the participants, each cleaned area is a concrete step towards a more comfortable life for residents. Such cleaning operations have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year. During this time, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed from the city. This high figure indicates the residents' inclination towards environmental culture, their contribution to making the city clean and beautiful. In total, more than 3 thousand citizens participated in the mentioned actions and voluntarily took care of the environment. During the weekend, college students, schoolchildren, volunteers, and residents of the district worked together. They cleaned yards, ditches, lawns, and flower beds. They also cleaned irrigation systems and ditches of debris and prevented waterways from becoming blocked. These measures regulated the flow of water and created conditions for the growth of greenery. Yerbol Baikonysov, deputy executive secretary of the Shymkent city branch of the Amanat party, participated in the action and addressed the residents. He said: "We call on the residents of Shymkent to maintain cleanliness. After all, cleanliness is the key to health. Therefore, we must do this systematically in order to turn Shymkent into a green city. If everything is clean, we will always be spiritually and ecologically clean. Only then will we become a real nation." According to the participants, participation in the Sabbath is not limited to cleaning the yard and street. It is an opportunity for people to interact with each other, understand their role in society, and set an example for the younger generation. Students and young people, seeing the results of their own hands, absorb the responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of the city. Such events increase people's love for their region. As a result of the work of the participants of the Sabbath, not only the yards and streets were cleaned, but also the environment was made more attractive and comfortable. Lawns and flower beds were cleaned of debris, ditches and waterways were put in order. These works will allow the city's residents to live comfortably, especially ensuring safety and cleanliness for children and the elderly. During the campaign, the organizers also held environmental education and training events. Participants in the cleanup were given advice on proper garbage sorting, waste recycling, and green space maintenance. Students learned these skills in a hands-on manner. They participated in garbage collection, ditch cleaning, and green space maintenance, thereby instilling a culture of environmental protection. One of the participants of the Saturday clean-up, a female student, commented: "I participated in cleaning my yard and contributed to the cleanliness of the city with my own hands. It's a wonderful feeling. Each person's own actions are important for the city. If we all keep our yards and streets clean, Shymkent will become a truly green city." Another important result of the Sabbath is the increase in environmental culture among residents. When young people and adults work together, a sense of cooperation, responsibility, and love for society is formed. These events not only increase environmental responsibility, but also contribute to the beautification of the city. The Shymkent city administration and the Turan district administration supported the campaign and expressed their gratitude to the participants. They called on residents to be active, protect the environment, and make the city clean and attractive. In addition, the akimat noted the need to maintain the cleanliness of the city by regularly holding environmental clean-ups. In conclusion, the "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign on November 5 is a clear demonstration of the active participation of Shymkent residents in protecting the environment. Participants of the campaign cleaned their yards, ditches, lawns, collected waste, and put the territory in order. As a result of such events, which have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year, about 40 tons of garbage were removed, and more than 3 thousand people took part. This campaign is not just a garbage collection, it is an important event aimed at forming an ecological culture among young people and adults, making the city more attractive, and protecting nature. It is expected that such cleanups will be held regularly in the future, so that the city area remains clean, green, and comfortable.
40 tons of waste were removed in Shymkent as part of an environmental campaign. 01.11.2025
On November 1, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" (Taza Beysenbi) environmental campaign continued in Shymkent's Turansky District. This large-scale cleanup event was aimed at maintaining cleanliness in the city, fostering environmental awareness among residents, especially young people, and improving neighborhoods and public spaces. The cleanup day took place in the courtyard of an apartment building on Adyrbekova Street. More than 30 people participated in the event, including college students, teachers, activists, and local residents. They all came together to tidy up the area, clear out ditches and canals, mow the grass, remove trash, and make the courtyard and surrounding areas look neat and tidy. The event organizers emphasized that such cleanup days have not only practical benefits but also educational value. They foster a sense of responsibility for a clean environment and a love for their hometown among residents and young people. Each participant sees the direct results of their efforts—clean yards, tidy lawns, and trash-free ditches. This is a clear example of how the joint efforts of citizens can transform urban spaces. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for the cleanup: rakes, shovels, brooms, trash bags, and gloves. The work was organized into pre-determined sections: one group was responsible for clearing the ditches, another for cleaning the yard and lawns, and a third for sorting and collecting trash. This approach ensured the efficiency and safety of the work. Particular attention was paid to cleaning ditches and drains. Stagnant water and debris in these systems can lead to unpleasant consequences, such as flooding and littering. Participants cleared the canals of debris, sediment, and foreign objects to allow water to flow freely. This also helps preserve green spaces and improve the environmental situation in the area. According to the participants, working outdoors and cleaning the area together provided not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. Every visible result—a clean yard, manicured lawns, cleared ditches—inspired further action and fostered a sense of responsibility for the environment. The young people learned to work in a team, delegate responsibilities, and monitor the process, which also developed organizational skills and the ability to collaborate. Since the beginning of 2025, 43 such cleanup days have already been held in Shymkent. As a result of these events, approximately 40 tons of waste were collected and removed. More than 3,000 citizens participated, making a significant contribution to improving the urban environment through their efforts. These figures clearly demonstrate the residents' commitment to cleanliness and the improvement of the city. In addition to their practical benefits, cleanup days also have an educational impact. Students and other participants see how their joint efforts improve the appearance of the city and create a comfortable living environment. They recognize that the cleanliness of their surroundings depends on each individual, and they develop the habit of maintaining order on a regular basis. Particular attention was paid to the maintenance of green spaces. Lawns and flowerbeds were cleared of dry grass, debris, and dead plants. Trees and shrubs were tended, and young plants were watered. These activities not only contribute to the aesthetic improvement of courtyards and streets but also develop practical skills in caring for nature, enhancing environmental awareness, and fostering a responsible attitude toward the environment. The organizers noted that cleanups should become a regular practice. Participants, both young and old, should regularly clean their surroundings to ensure the order created is maintained. Regular cleanups foster sustainable environmental habits and increase environmental responsibility among residents. The cleanup day also included waste sorting. Plastic bottles, paper, organic waste, and other materials were separated and sent for recycling. This not only helps clean the area but also reduces the burden on landfills, promotes recycling, and increases environmental awareness among citizens. The social significance of the event is also significant. Joint activities bring together people of all ages, fostering team spirit and a sense of belonging to the life of the neighborhood and city. Young people and adults worked together, shared experiences, and shared the importance of cleanliness and beautification. Such events foster social responsibility and active citizenship. According to one of the cleanup participants, a college student, "We cleaned up our courtyard and the surrounding streets. Keeping our surroundings clean is our contribution to the city's future. If everyone maintains order, our city will become beautiful and comfortable to live in." By the end of the cleanup, the grounds of the apartment building, lawns, flower beds, ditches, and pedestrian paths were completely cleaned and tidied up. Participants noted the high level of organization and the opportunity to see concrete results from their efforts. Thus, the cleanup day on November 1, 2025, in Shymkent's Turansky District, as part of the "Taza Beysenbi" campaign, became a clear example of how the joint efforts of residents, students, and teachers contribute to improving the environmental situation. More than 30 participants cleaned the courtyard, ditches, and lawns, removed trash, and tidied up the area. Since the beginning of the year, such events have been held 43 times, collecting approximately 40 tons of waste, and involving over 3,000 people. These events help improve residents' environmental awareness, foster the habit of keeping their city clean and caring for their community, and foster a sense of responsibility for the environment. "The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. Joint events bring people together, instill environmental responsibility in young people, and instill the habit of caring for nature," the organizers emphasized. The environmental campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that even small efforts by each individual can lead to significant results. Teamwork, attention to cleanliness, and the care of green spaces make the city a welcoming, safe, and attractive place for all residents.
40 tons of garbage removed as part of eco-campaign in Shymkent 01.11.2025
On November 1, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign continued in the Turan district of Shymkent. This campaign was organized to form an ecological culture among city residents, keep the environment clean, and preserve greenery. Residents of the district, volunteers, students, and college students actively participated in the campaign. The Senbilik was held in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building on Adyrbekov Street. Those gathered were provided with special equipment and the work was organized systematically. Participants cleaned the ditches and ditches from debris, mowed the grass, swept the yard, and put it in order. Everyone contributed their share and took part in cleaning the yard and roads, green spaces, and public spaces. Such environmental measures are of great importance. They not only protect the air, soil, and waterways from pollution, but also contribute to environmental education among residents and the formation of a sense of responsibility for nature among young people. Each cleaned area is a concrete step towards a more comfortable life for residents. According to the participants of the Sabbath, organizing and jointly carrying out cleaning work brings great moral satisfaction. After cleaning the streets and yards, people feel better and feel that they have made a contribution to the cleanliness of the city as a whole. Young people and students see the results of their actions and absorb environmental responsibility. These actions have been held systematically since the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of 2025, such cleaning operations have been organized 43 times. During this time, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed in the Turan district and the city. This high figure clearly demonstrates the residents' inclination towards environmental culture and their commitment to making the city clean and attractive. In total, more than 3 thousand citizens participated in such campaigns and voluntarily took care of the environment. They were not limited to cleaning their yards and collecting garbage, but also took care of greenery, cleaned flower beds, and cleaned irrigation systems and ditches. This activity teaches young people to work in a team and raises their environmental awareness. Another important part of the Saturday is to increase the activity of residents themselves. Many participants noted that this campaign is not just a one-day event, but that everyone should do their part to maintain cleanliness. They understood that the more every yard, every road, and every green space is cleaned, the more beautiful, comfortable, and safe the city will be. The cleaning measures also have a great practical value. Hazardous waste, construction materials, plastic, paper, and food waste were collected from garbage dumps and taken to special places. Proper processing of this waste makes an additional contribution to environmental protection and teaches people about recycling and maintaining an ecological culture. The participants of the campaign especially emphasized the importance of cleaning irrigation systems. By cleaning the city's ditches and water channels, it is possible to prevent flooding and reduce the harmful effects of clogged waterways. In addition, these measures contribute to the growth of greenery and a comfortable life for residents. The social significance of the Sabbath is also great. When young people and adults work together to improve public spaces, a sense of solidarity, responsibility, and love for society is formed among them. These environmental actions are not limited to garbage collection, but also help people understand their place in society and their responsibility. The Shymkent City Akimat and the Turan District Administration supported the event and expressed their gratitude to all participants. They noted that it is necessary to organize such clean-up events regularly to form an ecological culture and keep the city clean. In addition, the Akimat called on residents to be active, take care of the environment, and make the city more attractive. One of the participants, college student Aidana, said: "We cleaned our yard and took out the trash. This is our contribution to making not only our college yard, but also the city clean. It is important for everyone to do their part. If we all work together, the city will be more beautiful and comfortable." In general, the "Clean Thursday" sabbatical on November 1, 2025 is a manifestation of the active participation of residents and young people of Shymkent in protecting the environment. People who participated in the sabbatical made their contribution by collecting garbage, cleaning ditches, and tidying up lawns. Such events not only create an environmental culture among residents, but also increase their activity in society and a sense of responsibility. It is expected that such Sabbaths will be held regularly in the future, and the city will remain clean, green, and comfortable. These events will not only teach young people about environmental responsibility, but will also make a significant contribution to the beautification of the city, the comfortable life of residents, and the formation of a culture of environmental protection. In conclusion, as part of the "Clean Thursday" Saturday on November 1, more than 30 people took part in cleaning and tidying up the courtyards, ditches, and lawns of a multi-storey residential building. As a result of such events, which have been organized 43 times since the beginning of the year, about 40 tons of garbage have been removed and more than 3 thousand citizens have been active.

The event aimed to improve the environmental awareness of city residents, foster a habit of caring for the cleanliness of their homeland, and improve the condition of green spaces and public spaces. Employees of various institutions, college teachers and students, volunteers, and active city residents participated in the cleanup event. Particular attention was paid to educational institutions on this day. City colleges actively joined the campaign, organizing cleanups and landscaping of their grounds. Faculty and students collaborated to clean courtyards, green areas, lawns, flower beds, and adjacent college grounds. Irrigation systems were cleaned to ensure water flowed freely and did not stagnate in canals and ditches. Special attention was also paid to cleaning pedestrian paths to ensure they were safe and convenient for students and residents. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for the cleanup: gloves, rakes, shovels, buckets, and trash bags. The work was organized to ensure the safety of participants and maximize the effectiveness of the cleanup. All students and faculty were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific area of the college grounds. During the cleanup day, college teachers conducted short training sessions on proper waste sorting, landscaping, and tool safety. Students learned how to properly collect and sort waste, tend flower beds and lawns, and maintain irrigation systems to ensure water flows freely and doesn't stagnate. This gave the young people a hands-on understanding of the importance of caring for nature and personal responsibility for a clean environment. The cleanup included not only the college campuses but also adjacent streets, sidewalks, and public spaces. Students removed trash, raked fallen leaves, and cleared lawns and flower beds of dead and damaged plants. Irrigation canals and drains were also cleared of debris and sediment to allow water to flow freely, preventing flooding or odors. According to participants, working outdoors and cleaning the area together provided not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. Students noted that seeing the results of their labor—a clean yard, manicured lawns, and trash-free canals—inspired them and fostered a sense of responsibility for the environment. The event fostered team spirit, cooperation, and teamwork skills among the youth. Particular attention was paid to green spaces.

Participants gained practical experience in plant care, which will help them maintain the cleanliness and well-being of their schools and neighborhoods. The college administration thanked all participants for their active participation and emphasized that such events should become a regular practice.

This will ensure consistent cleanliness and order, as well as instill in young people a strong sense of responsibility for their hometown and its environmental health. The cleanup collected a large amount of trash, which was sorted and taken to designated recycling sites. Students actively participated in this effort, significantly improving the area and making the campus and surrounding streets safe and comfortable to navigate. The event had an important educational value. By participating in the cleanup, students learned to respect nature and understood that cleanliness and order are each person's contribution to the future of the city and country. This collaborative effort united young people, teachers, and volunteers, demonstrating that collective efforts can yield tangible results and contribute to the development of an environmentally responsible society. After the cleanup, the college grounds and surrounding areas were completely tidied up. Lawns and flowerbeds were clean and well-maintained, and the irrigation systems and pedestrian walkways were cleared of trash and debris. Participants felt a sense of accomplishment and were inspired to continue their environmental and urban development efforts. City colleges plan to hold such cleanups regularly. Plans include monthly or seasonal events to clean up the grounds, maintain green spaces, plant trees, and improve public spaces. This will allow students to develop environmental awareness, foster environmental stewardship, and actively participate in city life. The "Taza Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and the citywide cleanup day demonstrated that the joint efforts of students, teachers, and volunteers can significantly improve the urban environment. Every cleaned area, every planted bush or tree contributes to a clean, green, and comfortable city. The campaign's participants set an example for other educational institutions, inspiring them to participate in similar events. The campaign's main idea is simple: keeping the environment clean and tidy is everyone's responsibility. Even a small action, whether cleaning the college grounds or tending to trees and flowers, goes a long way toward improving the environment and creating a comfortable urban environment. The cleanup day on November 1, 2025, in Shymkent became an example of successful collaboration between educational institutions, students, teachers, and volunteers.

The students felt great moral satisfaction from seeing the results of their hard work. In addition, this event fostered in them the qualities of responsibility, teamwork, and organization. The "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and the city Sabbath not only provide students with environmental education, but also develop a sense of patriotism in them. Protecting their native land, their city, and their college territory, keeping it clean is the duty of every citizen. The participants of the Sabbath demonstrated this principle through concrete actions. In the future, such Saturdays will be held regularly at the college. In order to teach the younger generation to protect the environment, form an ecological culture, and increase the activity of students and teachers, campaigns will be organized every month or every season.

Turan College launches eco-challenge “Taza Kazakhstan” 05.11.2025
Turan College in Shymkent announces the launch of a new environmental challenge, "Taza Kazakhstan." The main goal of this project is to protect nature, foster environmental awareness among young people and residents, and preserve the purity and beauty of our native land. We want to inspire other students, schoolchildren, and educational institutions to take an active role in preserving the environment. Our college has already carried out a number of activities to clean up the grounds, maintain green spaces, and improve the campus. Students and faculty worked together to collect trash, tend flower beds, water trees, and restore littered areas. Every action aimed at improving the environment is essential for fostering responsibility and understanding the importance of caring for the environment. The launch of the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge at Turan College is the first step in a larger initiative designed to unite all colleges and educational institutions in the city and across the country. We encourage each participant to share their successes by posting photos and videos of cleanups, tree plantings, or other environmental activities. This approach allows other educational institutions to be inspired by their peers and join the movement, fostering sustainable environmental stewardship. The challenge's core principles are simple, yet their impact is profound. Each participant must: maintain cleanliness on your territory, in the classrooms, on the college grounds; collect garbage and dispose of it in specially designated places; protect trees, flowers and green spaces; maintain order in the city's parks, squares and courtyards; actively share the results of your actions to motivate others. Turan College students participated in cleaning the campus, surrounding streets, and green spaces. They cleared trash, sorted waste, tended flower beds, and watered newly planted trees. Each student understood that their personal contribution directly impacted the environment, as well as the aesthetic appeal of the college and the surrounding area. The challenge aims not only to improve the environment but also to bring people together. Students share their experiences on social media, inviting friends, classmates, neighbors, and teachers to participate. Every photo or video from the cleanup becomes a motivator for others, demonstrating that caring for the environment is not just a chore but also a fun, rewarding, and unifying activity. According to the participants, working outdoors, cleaning the area, and planting trees provides not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. The sight of clean grounds, well-tended flowerbeds, and greenery brings joy and enhances a sense of self-worth. Furthermore, participating in such activities instills responsibility, discipline, team spirit, and respect for nature in students. Turan College emphasizes the importance of every initiative. Even one person who picks up trash or plants a tree contributes to improving the environment. The challenge encourages people to organize their own actions: cleaning their yards, planting trees, caring for plants, and sharing their results. It's important for young people to see their actions as part of a larger system—maintaining cleanliness and green spaces in their neighborhood, city, and country. Furthermore, the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge serves as an educational platform. Students have the opportunity to learn how to properly care for plants, sort waste, preserve ecosystems, and develop sustainable environmental habits. This hands-on experience not only helps young people improve the environment but also develop personal qualities such as responsibility, initiative, and teamwork. Turan College plans to make the challenge an annual tradition and expand to include new campuses, schools, and colleges. In the future, they plan to involve more volunteers, hold joint tree plantings, cleanup days in city parks and squares, and conduct educational campaigns on proper waste disposal. Each challenge participant can become a role model for their friends and colleagues. By posting photos and videos and sharing their experiences, people inspire others to care for nature and participate in environmental initiatives. This approach helps build a sustainable movement that unites city residents in environmental conservation. The main idea of the campaign is simple: cleanliness and order in our surroundings is an investment in the future. A clean environment means health, comfort, and aesthetic pleasure. Turan College encourages all educational institutions in the city and country to join the initiative, organize their own campaigns, share their results, and inspire others. Students and faculty at Turan College are confident that joint efforts can transform the face of a city. Joint cleanups, tree planting, and green space maintenance make cities more beautiful, green, and comfortable to live in and relax in. Every sapling, every cleaned area is an investment in the future that will last for years to come. Thus, the "Taza Kazakhstan" challenge at Turan College not only improves the environment but also instills environmental responsibility in young people. This unifying event fosters team spirit, enhances environmental awareness, and motivates city residents to take action. We encourage all students, schoolchildren, teachers, and city residents to join the campaign! Organize your own cleanup, tree planting, or park maintenance, share your results, and inspire others to get involved. Collective action has the power and impact to make our city, college, neighborhood, and the entire country cleaner and greener. A clean environment is the key to a bright future!
TURAN COLLEGE LAUNCHES THE “CLEAN KAZAKHSTAN” ECOCHALLENGE! 05.11.2025
Turan College has launched a new initiative aimed at protecting the environment and ecology. Our main goal is to make our homeland clean, beautiful, and comfortable, to promote environmental culture, and to make every citizen feel responsible for their environment. We will continue our work in this direction through the “Clean Kazakhstan” eco-challenge. Students and teachers of our college jointly organized environmental cleaning, tree planting, garbage collection, and maintenance of the city's greenery. These activities are aimed not only at improving the appearance, but also at forming an ecological culture among young people and increasing their love for nature protection. By holding cleanliness campaigns, we aimed to make students feel the importance of their actions. We will start this challenge with ourselves, but we will continue it and send it to other colleges and educational institutions. Each educational institution should join in on its own initiative and contribute to making our city, district or village clean. The essence of the Ecochallenge is that each participant will show their work through a photo or video and call on other people to protect nature. This is a truly useful and interesting initiative that increases social responsibility and encourages young people to be active. The basic principles of the TazaKazakhstan campaign are simple, but have a huge impact: everyone should take part in keeping their environment clean, throwing garbage in the designated places, not polluting nature, protecting trees and flowers, and keeping yards and parks in order. Through these actions, students understand the importance of keeping the environment clean, protecting nature, and leaving a clean and beautiful environment for future generations. During the first eco-challenge at Turan College, students and teachers cleaned the campus, sports fields, internal areas, greenery and flower beds. Participants collected garbage, sorted it, and handed it over to special places. They also actively participated in planting young trees and caring for flower beds. The personal participation of each student in these events was important, because the contribution of each person directly affects the improvement of the environment. Another goal of the Challenge is to unite different groups in society. Our students announced their initiative on social networks and invited colleagues, friends, neighbors and other colleges to join this action. This will allow to expand the environmental movement, increase youth activity and educate every citizen to be responsible for the environment. According to the participants of the campaign, cleaning brings not only physical benefits, but also a sense of moral satisfaction. A clean environment, beautiful flower beds, clean air - this brings joy to students, increases their self-confidence and strengthens their sense of responsibility. Such initiatives develop an ecological culture and patriotic feelings in young people. Turan College's eco-challenge is aimed at increasing youth activity as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign. Through their initiatives, students set an example for others and show that every citizen is capable of contributing to the environment. The challenge is unique in that it can be accepted by anyone, any educational institution, any district or city resident. By publishing their actions in photos and videos, each person demonstrates their contribution and inspires others. We all work towards the same goal: a clean environment, green parks, beautiful streets, flower-filled alleys and a yard free of garbage. The main thing is that every step, every action is important. A clean environment is the key to a bright future. Students share their experience and activism with other colleges and encourage every member of society to engage in nature conservation. We invite you to participate in the challenge! Organize your own action and share the results on social networks. Encourage others to participate in this event through photos and videos. Every piece of garbage collected, every tree planted, every flower garden taken care of — this is your real contribution to protecting nature and leaving a clean environment for future generations. Students and teachers of Turan College have demonstrated their responsibility towards the environment by initiating this challenge. We are providing an opportunity to form an ecological culture among young people and make their own contribution to environmental protection. The goal of the campaign is to encourage students, teenagers and the entire society to take active environmental action. Our call is simple, but powerful: let's act together for a Clean Kazakhstan! Let's keep the environment clean, take care of every tree and every flower, and contribute to the beautification of the city and the country.

Tree planting as part of the nationwide "Taza Kazakstan" campaign in Shymkent 01.11.2025
On November 1, 2025, a large-scale tree planting event was held in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan." The event was initiated by employees of Beineu-Shymkent Gas Pipeline LLP and the city's Abay District Akimat. The event aimed to green the city's urban areas, improve the environmental situation, foster environmental awareness among residents, and develop habits of caring for cleanliness and green spaces. Around 100 people took part in the planting, including company employees, district administration representatives, volunteers, neighborhood residents, and students. Each participant was provided with the necessary equipment: shovels, rakes, buckets, and gloves, allowing for efficient and safe tree planting. The event took place in Korgan Park, where approximately one hundred coniferous trees, primarily pines and spruces, were planted. These trees were distributed among specially prepared plots, taking into account soil characteristics, light conditions, and future plant maintenance. This approach allowed for the creation of a harmonious composition of trees that will eventually become part of the city's green space, enhancing its appearance and creating a comfortable walking environment for residents. Employees of Beineu-Shymkent Gas Pipeline LLP noted that their participation in the campaign is not only a social initiative but also a contribution to the city's environmental well-being. "We are pleased to participate in the 'Taza Kazakhstan' campaign. Planting trees is a concrete step toward improving the environmental situation and creating a green and comfortable city. We hope these trees will bring joy to city residents for many years to come," said one of the company representatives. The Akimat of the Abay District also actively supported the event. Representatives of the district administration provided organizational support, delivered seedlings and tools, and prepared the site for planting. They emphasized that such events strengthen the bond between authorities and residents, raise environmental awareness, and instill a sense of responsibility for the environment. Before the planting began, participants received instructions on proper tree planting. Specialists demonstrated how to plant seedlings deeply, how to compact the soil around the roots, and how to properly water and care for young trees in the first months after planting. This approach allows the trees to successfully establish and thrive, and allows participants to feel a sense of belonging in preserving urban nature. Particular attention was paid to the educational component of the event. The organizers highlighted the importance of green spaces: trees purify the air, provide shade, regulate the microclimate, provide a habitat for birds and other animals, and enhance the city's visual appeal. The coniferous trees that were planted are particularly resilient to Shymkent's climate, allowing them to quickly establish themselves and delight residents with their greenery for many years to come. Students and schoolchildren actively participated in the planting. Young people helped prepare the holes, plant the trees, and water them, while learning from the experience of adult participants and volunteers. For many, this was not only a rewarding experience but also a powerful lesson in environmental responsibility and practical experience in participating in socially significant projects. The participants' collaborative efforts strengthened team spirit and a sense of community. People of different ages and backgrounds worked together, shared knowledge and experience, and helped each other, making the process more effective and enjoyable. Many participants noted that joint initiatives unite residents, foster environmental awareness, and instill a habit of caring for nature. After the tree planting, representatives of the akimat and the company thanked all participants for their active participation, noting that tree planting is a concrete contribution to the city's environmental future. Recommendations were given for the future care of the young trees: regular watering, soil loosening, pest control, and maintaining the park grounds. During the campaign, approximately one hundred trees were planted, which will eventually become a green space, providing shade and improving the microclimate and aesthetics of Korgan Park. The young conifers will provide comfortable conditions for residents to relax and stroll, improve air quality, and become part of a sustainable urban ecosystem. The "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that the joint efforts of government agencies, companies, and residents can yield tangible results. Such initiatives not only improve the environmental situation but also instill in residents the habit of caring for nature, fostering environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility. The organizers emphasized that such events will be held regularly. In the future, they plan to expand the tree planting program to other parks and squares across the city, conduct educational events for the public, and teach children and young people how to properly care for green spaces. Tree planting has become not only an environmental but also a social initiative. The collaborative work of participants strengthens community ties, fosters a sense of community and civic responsibility. Each sapling contributes to the health of city residents, improves the urban environment, and creates comfortable conditions for recreation and living. Thus, on November 1, 2025, nearly one hundred coniferous trees were planted in Shymkent's Korgan Park as part of the "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign. The event was a success, bringing together residents, students, volunteers, company employees, and representatives of the city administration. The planted trees will make a long-term contribution to greening the city, fostering environmental awareness, and creating a comfortable urban environment. The event demonstrated that the collective efforts of all participants can transform the appearance of a city, making it cleaner, greener, and more welcoming. The event inspired residents to take further action to improve and care for nature, and also became a shining example of effective collaboration between government agencies, businesses, and the public.

On November 1, 2025, a large-scale tree planting was carried out in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". The organizers of the festive event were employees of LLP "Beineu-Shymkent Gazoprovod" and the Abai district akimat. The main goal of the campaign was to decorate the city with greenery, improve the ecological situation, increase the ecological culture of residents, and contribute to making the city cleaner and more comfortable. The event was attended by about a hundred people. Among them were company employees, representatives of the district administration, volunteers, local residents, as well as school and university students. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for planting trees: hammers, buckets, shovels, bags and gloves. This facilitated the organizational work and created an efficient and safe environment for all participants. Tree planting was carried out in the "Korgan" park. On that day, about a hundred coniferous trees were planted in the park, among which pine and spruce species predominated. The trees were placed on pre-prepared plots, taking into account the characteristics of the soil, sunlight and tree care. This approach contributed to the rapid growth of the trees, their adaptation to the city ecosystem and a harmonious aesthetic appearance. Representatives of the Beineu-Shymkent Gazoprovod LLP noted that the campaign is not only a social initiative, but also a real contribution to improving the ecological situation of the city. "We are glad to participate in the Clean Kazakhstan campaign and contribute to the greening of our city. These trees provide residents with clean air, improve the beauty of the city, and help form a culture of environmental protection," said the company representative. The Abai district akimat also fully supported the campaign. Representatives of the akimat prepared the planting sites in advance, delivered the necessary materials and seedlings, and provided all organizational work. They noted that such campaigns strengthen ties between residents and local authorities and instill in residents a sense of responsibility for nature protection. Before planting the trees, all participants were given special instructions. Experts showed how to plant the seedlings deeply, how to pack the soil tightly, how to water the tree, and how to care for it in the first months. This approach allowed the trees to grow successfully and gave participants the opportunity to feel that they could directly influence the environment. During the event, the ecological significance of planting trees was explained. Experts explained how trees affect the ecology of the city: they clean the air, reduce dust, regulate the climate, create shade, and also give the city an aesthetic appeal. Trees, as green areas, enhance the natural beauty of the city and become a comfortable place for residents to relax. Students and schoolchildren also showed their activity. They dug the soil, planted trees, and watered. Such activities taught the younger generation responsibility for nature protection and gave them practical skills. Volunteers taught new participants how to plant trees correctly, contributing to the formation of an ecological culture. The participants' teamwork strengthened team spirit and increased mutual support in the community. People of different ages and professional backgrounds worked together and helped each other. Many participants emphasized the importance of keeping the city clean and protecting the environment. After the tree planting was completed, representatives of the akimat and the company thanked all participants. They gave recommendations for the growth and care of the newly planted trees: regular watering, soil cultivation, pest protection, and keeping the park clean. As a result, about a hundred new trees were planted in the park. Over time, they will form a green belt in the city, providing residents with fresh air, shade, a place to relax, and help maintain ecological balance. The trees will become part of the city's sustainable ecosystem. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign has shown that the joint efforts of residents, government agencies, enterprises and volunteers in Shymkent contribute to improving the environmental situation. Such measures help make the city greener, cleaner, more comfortable and more beautiful, form the ecological culture of residents, and increase social responsibility. Similar campaigns will be held regularly in the future. The plan is to plant new trees in other parks and squares, educate residents on tree care, and instill an environmental culture in young people. Planting trees has not only ecological but also social significance. The joint work of participants strengthens the bonds between people in society, develops civic responsibility and demonstrates the participation of each person in the ecology of the city. Each planted tree is a long-term ecological and aesthetic gift for residents and future generations. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign held in Shymkent on November 1, 2025 was a success. About a hundred trees were planted in the park, young people and volunteers showed their activity, representatives of the akimat and companies showed their support. The planted trees not only improve the beauty of the city, but also provide residents with clean air, a comfortable recreational environment, and environmental education. This action set an example for the city's residents and showed the importance of caring for nature. Through the "Clean Kazakhstan" project, Shymkent will continue its systematic work aimed at becoming a green, clean and beautiful city.
In accordance with the instructions of the Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan, Chief Mufti Nauryzbay hazrat Taghanuly, a mass cleaning was organized in the mosques of Shymkent. 05.11.2025
On November 5, 2025, a large-scale environmental campaign, "Clean Kazakhstan," was held in Shymkent. It was organized by order of the Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (DUMK), Chief Mufti Nauryzbay hazrat Taghanuly. The event, held in the city's mosques, aimed at conducting general cleaning, landscaping, instilling responsibility for cleanliness in residents, and strengthening spiritual and environmental awareness. The campaign brought together people of all ages, but placed particular emphasis on the women's community, who actively participated in the cleanup efforts. As part of the Clean Kazakhstan project, a cleaning campaign was held at the Shymkent Central Mosque, where women parishioners actively participated. They thoroughly cleaned the interior, carried out wet cleaning, treated the carpets, and washed the windows and doors, allowing the prayer space to be completely renovated. Each participant contributed to making the prayer hall clean, cozy, and harmonious. In addition to interior cleaning, the women also focused on exterior improvements: they cleared the area around the mosque, removed trash, and tidied up the greenery and flower beds. This not only improved the mosque's aesthetic appearance but also created a comfortable and safe atmosphere for parishioners. The women noted that participating in such events brings people of different generations together, fosters a sense of responsibility, and instills a habit of caring for the cleanliness and order of public spaces. Shymkent Chief Imam Bakdulet Hazrat Nurmatuly expressed his deep gratitude to the women who participated in the campaign. He noted that cleaning mosques has not only a physical but also a spiritual significance. "A mosque is not just a place of prayer, but also the center of the community's spiritual life. Every cleaning, every act of caring for cleanliness, strengthens spiritual values, teaches kindness, patience, and respect for others. We are grateful to every woman who contributed to the renewal of this sacred space," the imam said. The participants worked in an organized manner: they were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific area—the prayer hall, corridors, entrances, and interior spaces. This approach allowed them to cover all areas of the mosque and conduct the cleaning as effectively as possible. Upon completion, the carpets were thoroughly cleaned, the windows and doors sparkled, and all surfaces were wiped down and disinfected. The interior of the mosque became bright, clean, and pleasant for parishioners. The women also focused on sharing experiences and training each other. Experienced parishioners showed newcomers how to clean properly, what products to use for carpets, furniture, and windows, and how to efficiently allocate their resources for effective work. This collaborative work not only improved the mosque's condition but also fostered team building, strengthened community ties, and fostered environmental and social responsibility. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is important not only for the specific mosque but for the entire community. Regularly cleaning places of worship fosters cleanliness habits and increases environmental awareness and eco-culture among the population. The women who participated set an example for young people and children, emphasizing that cleanliness is not only an outward manifestation but also a reflection of one's inner spiritual state. Particular attention was paid to the environmental aspects of the cleanup. Participants ensured proper waste sorting, used eco-friendly cleaning products, and strived to minimize their negative impact on the environment. This aligns with the main goals of the "Clean Kazakhstan" project, which aims to maintain cleanliness in public spaces and instill environmental awareness in citizens. The city's chief imam, Bakdaulet Hazrat, noted that such events should be held regularly. Cleanliness and order in mosques not only improve the physical conditions for prayer but also foster civic and spiritual responsibility. "Regularly holding such events is important for maintaining harmony, purity, and the spiritual well-being of society. Disturbing purity means taking care of one's inner world and the world around us," he emphasized. The campaign also strengthened intergenerational bonds. Women of different ages worked together, sharing their experiences and teaching young people how to organize work properly and maintain cleanliness. This became a shining example of how the combined efforts of different age groups can yield tangible results and positively impact society as a whole. In addition to interior cleaning, attention was also paid to the improvement of the surrounding areas: garbage collection, flowerbed maintenance, and clearing of paths and green areas. Thus, the campaign contributed to the creation of a comfortable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing environment both inside and around the mosque. Following the event, the participants noted that such events provide not only practical benefits but also spiritual satisfaction. Seeing the results of their efforts, experiencing gratitude from the parishioners and the imam, and a sense of unity and teamwork—all of this increases their motivation to participate in similar initiatives in the future. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that the joint efforts of society, religious organizations, and individuals can produce significant and long-lasting results. The mosque, renovated by women, has become not only a clean place for prayer but also a symbol of care for the spiritual and physical environment, unity, and social responsibility. Thus, on November 5, 2025, the "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign was successfully held in Shymkent, with the active participation of female parishioners. The mosque was completely cleaned and landscaped, leaving both its interior and surrounding area clean and well-maintained. The city's chief imam, Bakdaulet Hazrat, expressed his deep gratitude to the participants and noted the importance of such initiatives for strengthening spiritual and social values. This campaign set an example for the entire city and society as a whole. It demonstrated that caring for cleanliness and order, and paying attention to religious sites and nature, is not only a duty but also an important element of education, uniting people of all ages and social groups. "Taza Kazakhstan" will continue its work, engaging more and more participants, and will become a reliable tool for fostering environmental and spiritual awareness among residents of Shymkent and throughout the country.

A culture of exchange of experience was formed among the participants, and each received useful and important information. This experience helped women adapt to cleanliness and a culture of environmental protection in everyday life. During the clean-up event, special attention was paid to environmental responsibility.

Residents of Shymkent took part in the environmental campaign "Clean Thursday" 06.11.2025
On November 6, 2025, a large-scale environmental campaign, "Clean Thursday," took place in Shymkent. The main cleanup efforts were organized in the city's Turansky District, where residents, utility workers, activists, young people, and pensioners worked together to clean up streets, courtyards, and public spaces. The event took the form of a citywide cleanup day, aimed at maintaining cleanliness and improving sanitary conditions in the city, as well as instilling in residents the habit of caring for the environment. Representatives of various age groups and social groups took part in the event. Everyone was provided with the necessary equipment: gloves, garbage bags, brooms, and rakes. Participants collected trash, collected fallen leaves, cleaned ditches, and maintained green spaces and squares. Many noted that participating in such events strengthens community spirit, unites people of different generations, and fosters a sense of responsibility for their hometown. In particular, pensioners shared their experiences, young people demonstrated activity and enthusiasm, and children and their parents learned about environmental stewardship. As the organizers emphasized, participation in such events not only helps improve the environmental situation but also instills in participants a sense of pride in their city. The "Clean Thursday" cleanup events have already become a tradition in Shymkent, attracting more and more volunteers each year. According to Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the city branch of the Amanat party, regularly holding such events is an important part of the city's environmental policy. "We urge Shymkent residents to take care of the city's cleanliness. After all, cleanliness is the key to health. For Shymkent to become truly green and welcoming, it's important to hold such events regularly. When our surroundings are clean, we become cleaner both spiritually and environmentally," he noted. Since the beginning of the year, the "Clean Thursday" campaign has been held in Shymkent 43 times. During this time, thousands of tons of trash have been removed from the city, and over 3,000 people have participated. These results demonstrate the high level of citizen engagement and the effectiveness of the collaborative work between citizens, activists, and municipal services. Furthermore, regular cleanups help foster a lasting habit of keeping courtyards, streets, and public spaces clean. The campaign focused on cleaning irrigation ditches, which play a vital role in the city's drainage system. Clogged with debris and fallen leaves, irrigation ditches can lead to street flooding during rainfall and worsen sanitary conditions in the area. Therefore, participants actively removed debris from gutters, cleared canals, and ensured that water could drain freely. In addition, fallen leaves were collected and lawns and sidewalks cleared of household waste. Throughout the day, volunteers worked in areas pre-assigned by the organizers. This allowed for a larger area to be covered and the participants' efforts to be utilized most effectively. The organizers of the event noted that such events not only help improve the city's appearance but also raise residents' environmental awareness. Participants were able to see the results of their efforts immediately: clean streets, tidy courtyards, green spaces, and litter-free ditches. For many, this served as an incentive to continue maintaining their neighborhoods even after the official event concluded. Volunteers also noted that teamwork brings people together and fosters a sense of community. Young people actively learned from the older generation, while pensioners shared their knowledge about caring for nature and keeping the city clean. Thus, the campaign not only addresses the practical challenges of cleaning the area but also serves an educational function, instilling in participants a respect for the environment.

Shymkent residents participated in the "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign 06.11.2025
On November 6, 2025, a large-scale environmental campaign called "Clean Thursday" was held in Shymkent. During the event, city residents, utility workers, active youth, retirees, and volunteers joined forces to clean up the territories of the Turan district and beautify the city environment. The main goal of the campaign was to improve the sanitary conditions of the city, raise the environmental culture of residents, and increase interest in keeping public spaces clean. Residents of different ages participated in the event. All participants were provided with the necessary equipment: gloves, garbage bags, rakes and brooms. Participants collected garbage from streets and public areas, cleaned fallen leaves, cleaned ditches, and cleaned green spaces and parks.

Pensioners shared their experiences, young people showed their activity, and volunteers helped make the event a success. Children came with their parents and learned to take care of nature and the city. According to the organizers, these events allow residents to raise environmental awareness and form a sense of responsibility for a clean environment in their district. Yerbol Baikonysov, deputy executive secretary of the city branch of the Amanat party, noted the importance of the campaign. “We call on Shymkent residents to take a responsible approach to the cleanliness of the city. Cleanliness is the key to health. It is important to hold such campaigns regularly so that Shymkent becomes a truly green and comfortable city. When the environment is clean, we ourselves will be spiritually and ecologically clean,” he said. Since the beginning of 2025, the “Clean Thursday” campaign has been held 43 times in Shymkent. During this time, thousands of tons of garbage have been removed from the city, and the total number of people participating in the campaign has exceeded three thousand. These indicators clearly demonstrate the activity of residents, their civic responsibility, and the effectiveness of working together with public utilities. During the campaign, the main focus was on cleaning the gutters. The gutters are an important part of the city's water system, and the garbage and leaves in them can lead to flooding of the streets, disruption of water flow, and deterioration of sanitary conditions. Therefore, volunteers and municipal workers cleaned the gutters, removed the garbage, and ensured the free flow of water. In addition, participants cleaned lawns, sidewalks, and public areas of garbage. All work was pre-divided by districts, and participants cleaned their areas in an organized manner. This approach allowed for an efficient campaign and timely access to each district. The organizers noted that the campaign was aimed not only at improving the appearance, but also at raising the environmental awareness of residents. The participants immediately saw the results of their work: clean streets, garbage-free areas, a bright and comfortable environment. Many residents were inspired by this sight to maintain a clean environment in their daily lives. Volunteers appreciated the benefits of working together and working as a team. Young people learned from older people, and retirees shared their knowledge about keeping the environment and the city clean. Thus, the campaign, along with practical work, also had an educational function. The city's municipal services provided logistical support for the event: delivering equipment, removing garbage, and ensuring the safety of participants. All work was carried out in accordance with sanitary requirements, which allowed improving the sanitary and hygienic conditions of the city. The "Clean Thursday" campaign became a model not only for the Turan district, but also for the entire city. The unity of participants, the cleaning of public spaces, and the cooperation of people among themselves - all this had a positive impact on the life of the city. This event taught residents to be responsible for a clean environment, helped to maintain their own district, and put neighboring territories in order. In addition, the campaign has a great social value. Working with neighbors, cleaning up the environment together, creates a sense of community among people. Such events become part of urban culture and teach people to develop a sense of responsibility for their territory and the city. At the end of the event, the organizers thanked the participants and gave them the opportunity to share their experiences. Many residents noted that seeing the results of their work increased their pride in their cities and that they were ready to continue to maintain cleanliness in the future. As the Clean Thursday campaign shows, small efforts of individuals can yield big results. Clean streets, collected garbage, clean ditches and parks improve the quality of life in the city. Regularly held campaigns help to form an ecological culture among residents and create a constant interest in keeping the city clean. Thus, the "Clean Thursday" campaign, held in Shymkent on November 6, 2025, was a success with the joint efforts of city residents, utilities and volunteers. As a result, streets, parks, sidewalks and ditches were made clean, safe and comfortable. The campaign demonstrated the importance of regular events aimed at increasing the ecological culture in the city, educating residents about a clean environment and developing public space.
700 million tenge spent on restoring the irrigation network in Shymkent 05.11.2025
In 2025, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network in Shymkent. These funds were used to build a new irrigation ditch system in all districts of the metropolis, as well as to clean and strengthen existing canals and riverbeds. The main goal of the project is to improve urban infrastructure, provide residents with clean water, and prevent potential flooding. A new irrigation ditch system was built in all districts of the city. Work was carried out on 60 streets, improving water supply, increasing the efficiency of the irrigation network, and reducing the risk of water shortages for residents. The new irrigation ditch system ensures more efficient water distribution and allows for the most efficient use of water resources. A total of 28 kilometers of new irrigation ditches were laid. These ditches provide water to residential areas, private homes, and agricultural land. Concurrently, work was carried out to clean and strengthen old canals and riverbeds. Thoroughly cleaning the canals and strengthening the banks ensures the free flow of water, prevents flooding, and creates safe conditions for residents. Rolan Ibragimov, Head of the Shymkent Passenger Transport and Roads Department, noted the importance of the new project: "Our task now is to encircle these irrigation ditch systems or install special caissons. This will allow district administrations to efficiently drain water using water tankers in the future. In some areas, it's impossible to redirect the water elsewhere, as all the areas are already built on," he said. According to Ibragimov, the new irrigation canal system will address flooding and ensure an efficient water supply for city residents. The use of new canals makes the irrigation system more manageable and allows for the efficient use of water resources. Furthermore, the new canals provide irrigation for agricultural land and facilitate the development of urban infrastructure. The irrigation ditch restoration work included not only the construction of new canals but also the thorough cleaning and strengthening of existing channels. The canals were cleared of debris and vegetation, increasing their capacity and reducing the risk of flooding. Strengthening the banks and beds of the canals ensures the longevity of the irrigation network and prevents erosion, which could damage infrastructure and flood residential areas. Modern technologies were used in the design and construction of the new system. This increased the strength of the ditches, improving the system's efficiency and ensuring its long-term operation. The new ditches enable more efficient water management, directing water to the required areas and reducing water loss during transportation. The new irrigation ditch system offers numerous benefits to city residents. Firstly, it reduces the risk of flooding; secondly, it makes the water supply system more efficient; thirdly, it facilitates irrigation of agricultural land, which is especially important for farmers and gardeners. Furthermore, the new canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure and improving the quality of life for residents. Rolan Ibragimov emphasized that installing caissons and creating closed irrigation ditch circuits will allow district administrations to effectively utilize water tankers for water delivery in the future. This is especially important in areas where diverting water elsewhere is impossible due to dense development. Ibragimov noted that the new irrigation ditches ensure uniform water distribution throughout the city and enable efficient water use. This is especially important during dry periods, when efficient water management becomes key. The new system minimizes water loss and ensures the needs of all city residents are met. In addition to providing residents with water, the new irrigation ditches help strengthen the city's infrastructure. Reinforced canals and cleaned riverbeds improve safety for residents, reduce the risk of flooding, and improve the city's environmental situation. Furthermore, the new irrigation ditches ensure efficient irrigation of farmland and contribute to the development of local agriculture. The system enables the efficient use of water resources, directing water to the right places, and ensuring an uninterrupted water supply. This is especially important for ensuring the city's vital functions and supporting agricultural production. The new irrigation ditches reduce the risk of water shortages, and the water supply system becomes more manageable and reliable. In summary, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network and constructing a new irrigation ditch system in Shymkent. These projects are aimed at meeting residents' water needs, preventing flooding, and efficiently irrigating agricultural land. The new irrigation ditch and reinforced canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure, stabilizing the environmental situation, and improving the quality of life. In the future, the Shymkent administration and the Department of Passenger Transport and Roads will continue to develop the irrigation ditch system, clean canals, and strengthen riverbeds. These measures are aimed at creating a safe and efficient water supply system, which is one of the most important tasks of the city's infrastructure. Thus, the irrigation network restoration and modernization project became significant for the city, improving water resource management, increasing the safety of residents, and ensuring the sustainable development of urban and agricultural infrastructure.
700 million tenge spent on restoring the irrigation system in Shymkent 05.11.2025
In 2025, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on the restoration of the irrigation network in Shymkent. This money was directed to the construction of a new ditch system in all districts of the metropolis, as well as to the cleaning and strengthening of old canals. These projects, which were carried out with the aim of improving the city's infrastructure and providing residents with clean water, were implemented in a planned manner on a large scale. A new drainage system was built in all districts of the city. The work was carried out on 60 streets, which is aimed at preventing flooding in the city, increasing the efficiency of the irrigation system and reducing water shortages for local residents. The new drainage system has optimized the water supply system and increased the ability to use water efficiently. A total of 28 kilometers of canals were constructed. These canals will improve water supply to residential buildings and private sectors located in various districts of the city. In addition, work was carried out to clean and strengthen old canals and riverbeds. Cleanliness and strength of canals and riverbeds ensure safe water supply to residents, prevent flooding and blockages. Rolan Ibragimov, Head of the Shymkent City Department of Passenger Transport and Highways, noted the importance of the new ditch system: "Our task is to encircle these ditch systems or install special caissons. This will allow district akimats to deliver water to the necessary places with water trucks in the future. In some places, it is impossible to divert water to other places, because houses have been built on all the plots," he said. According to Ibragimov, the new ditch system will allow residents to solve the problems of flooding and water shortage. This system will allow irrigation to be carried out more efficiently, significantly improving the quality of the irrigation network in the city. In addition, the new ditches will help save water resources, provide water to local agricultural areas, and develop urban infrastructure. The canal restoration work was not limited to the construction of new canals. All canals and riverbeds were cleaned, their bottoms and banks were strengthened. This ensures the free flow of water and prevents blockages. In addition, garbage and weeds were removed from the canals, reducing the risk of flooding. These measures are aimed at increasing the safety of residents and improving the environmental situation in the city. The Shymkent City Administration and the Passenger Transport and Highways Department used modern technologies in the design and construction of the new ditch system. This allowed to increase the durability and efficiency of the ditches, as well as to optimize the water supply system in various districts of the city in the future. The new ditches will allow for effective water management, rapid delivery to the places where it is needed, and reduce water shortages. The new canals will provide many benefits for the city's residents. First, this system will help prevent flooding, and second, it will make the water supply system more efficient. Third, it will make it easier to irrigate agricultural land through the canals, which will benefit local farmers and residents. In addition, the new system will help improve the city's infrastructure and improve the quality of life for residents. Rolan Ibragimov once again emphasized the advantages of the ditch system: "By encircling ditches or installing special caissons, we will provide district akimats with the opportunity to deliver water to the necessary places with water transport vehicles. This measure will help prevent water shortages for residents." According to Ibragimov, in some areas it is impossible to divert water to another place, because houses are built on all the plots. Therefore, it is important to properly plan and install the new ditch system. Through the new canals, the water supply system will be more efficient and the water needs of the population will be met. New ditches and canals will help improve construction and engineering infrastructure in all areas of the city. These measures will ensure safe water supply to residents, reduce flooding and improve the environmental situation. In addition, the ditches will provide the opportunity to effectively irrigate local agricultural lands. In conclusion, 700 million tenge was spent on the rehabilitation of the irrigation network and the construction of a new canal system in Shymkent. These works are aimed at satisfying the water needs of the city's residents, preventing flooding, and effectively irrigating agricultural land. The new canals and canals will contribute to improving the city's infrastructure, stabilizing the environmental situation, and improving the quality of life of residents. In the future, the Shymkent City Administration and the Passenger Transport and Highways Department will continue to develop the drainage system, clean and strengthen canals, and make efforts to improve the city's water supply system. These measures are one of the most important projects aimed at creating a safe and efficient infrastructure for the city's residents.

Sewage water spilled onto the street: actions of residents and representatives 05.11.2025
On November 5, 2025, a sewage spill was recorded in Shymkent. Sewage spilled onto the sidewalk along Nazir Torekulov Street, polluting the surrounding area and creating an unpleasant odor. This situation has caused outrage among residents, as it creates great inconvenience and danger for street users. Representatives of the relevant services were sent to the scene to determine the cause of the sewerage system leak. During the inspection, it was determined that the sewerage system belongs to a business entity. That is, it became clear that this situation is the responsibility of a private business entity, namely a catering establishment.

Illegal construction entails liability 05.11.2025
In Shymkent, employees of the responsible departments of the city administration have identified illegal construction following a complaint from residents. This measure is aimed at enforcing the law in urban development, ensuring the safety of urban infrastructure, and protecting citizens' rights. Recently, the authorities have been drawn to the attention of residents' complaints and social media posts revealing violations during construction and renovation projects. Recently, employees of the Department of Urban Environment Quality and Control reviewed a complaint from residents of Zh. Adyrbekov Street. Residents had expressed their concerns on social media, citing possible violations during the relocation of a heating pipeline near their homes. The primary concern was that the construction work was carried out without legal requirements, which could damage utility lines and impact the safety of local residents. During the inspection, it was discovered that the owner of the property at 70 Zh. Aldiyarov Street, while constructing a house, had illegally installed a heating pipe approximately 100 meters long across the property without permits. Furthermore, design, technical, and construction supervision requirements were not met, and the appropriate authority was not notified. These actions directly threatened the integrity of utility networks and posed a safety risk to residents of the area. As a result, the violator of construction laws was issued an administrative penalty. In accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on urban development and construction activities, the total fine was 511,000 tenge. In addition to the fine, the responsible specialists were ordered to immediately cease work on the illegal pipeline and restore it to its original condition. These measures are aimed at preventing further violations and ensuring public safety. The Department of Urban Environment Quality and Control emphasizes to residents the need to obtain all necessary permits before beginning any construction. Compliance with building codes and regulations is not only a legal obligation but also an element of social responsibility to neighbors and society at large. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in administrative and financial penalties, and in some cases, forced demolition of illegal structures. Violations during construction create several risks. First, they damage utility lines, which can lead to interruptions in heat, water, and electricity supplies. Second, they pose a direct threat to the lives and health of residents. Third, illegal actions reduce trust between the public and local governments. Therefore, compliance with laws and construction regulations is essential to ensure the safety and stability of urban infrastructure. Experience from city services shows that noncompliance with construction regulations entails serious consequences: large fines, the obligation to restore utility lines, the suspension of work, and even the forced demolition of illegally constructed structures. These measures encourage citizens and businesses to act within the law, preventing violations and maintaining order in the city. The following requirements are crucial for any developer: the availability of design documentation, technical and construction supervision, and notification of the relevant authorities. Compliance with these standards not only avoids fines but also guarantees the quality of construction work, the safety of residents, and the preservation of city infrastructure. Violations can have negative consequences for the developer, residents, infrastructure, and the city's reputation. City authorities are strengthening construction oversight, responding to citizen complaints, and conducting regular inspections. This approach not only identifies violations but also prevents them in the future, increasing developer accountability. Preemptive measures and violation monitoring help promptly identify problems, mitigate risks, and minimize the consequences of illegal activity. Residents are advised to thoroughly check the status of their land plots before beginning construction, obtain the necessary permits, strictly adhere to building codes, and ensure technical oversight at all stages of construction. Adherence to these rules helps prevent potential conflicts, administrative penalties, and damage to utility lines. Additionally, educational events are held for residents and developers. The purpose of these meetings is to improve legal literacy, explain the importance of complying with building codes, inform about the consequences of violations, and the procedure for notifying government agencies. During these events, specialists provide detailed information on the legal consequences of illegal construction, financial penalties, restoration of properties, and penalties. Experience shows that most cases of illegal construction arise from the lack of permits, non-compliance with design requirements, failure to notify government agencies, and disregard for building codes. Therefore, it is critical for every developer to prepare project documentation in advance, comply with technical and architectural supervision, and operate in strict compliance with the law. In summary, preventing illegal construction is a key element of city safety, protecting residents' rights, and preserving utility infrastructure. The Department for Urban Environment Quality and Control calls on all residents and developers to strictly adhere to building codes, prepare all necessary documents in advance, and notify the relevant authorities. Any violations will be identified and prosecuted in accordance with the law. For Shymkent residents, this case is a clear example that compliance with construction laws is not only an obligation but also a contribution to the safety and comfort of the urban environment. Illegal construction poses a risk to everyone: the city, its infrastructure, residents, and the environment. Compliance with building codes, permits, and technical inspections is the shared responsibility of the state, developers, and citizens.
