Raids on unauthorized landfills

Last Saturday, a number of regions across the republic conducted raid measures to prevent and eliminate unauthorized landfills.

The problem of the presence of unauthorized landfills is one of the priority problems today.

To date, 4,763 unauthorized landfills have been identified in the republic.

Taking into account not the most favorable statistics, this problem requires the application of drastic measures with the involvement of all interested organizations, including the public.

This order was previously given by the Head of State at the last expanded meeting of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and as part of its implementation by the Committee for Environmental Regulation and Control with the participation of the Committee for Forestry and Wildlife, as well as the Ministry of Information and Public Development, a large-scale event was organized to identify and prevent the formation of unauthorized landfills.

The first raid started on June 24 this year and was conducted simultaneously by five large regions: Karaganda, Pavlodar, Almaty, Akmola and East Kazakhstan regions. Representatives of the departments of ecology, akimats, the local police service and more than 30 eco-meters went to the recreational areas.

As a result of one-day work, 20 illegal landfills were identified, 13 of which were liquidated on the same day. In addition, 6 warnings were issued and an administrative fine of 10 MCI was imposed.

Recall that this is only the beginning of the raid events. The schedule for the elimination of natural landfills provides for periodic visits in all regions until the end of September this year.

The results of subsequent raids will be covered additionally.
