Akim of NKR met with the head of the South Ural Railway

"I had a meeting with the head of the South Ural Railway, Igor Ryazanov. We discussed the development of the railway industry, as well as issues of passenger transportation between the two countries. We agreed to resume the operation of the Petropavlovsk-Isilkul and Petropavlovsk-Petukhovo electric trains. Let me remind you that the movement of electric trains was suspended 2 years ago due to a pandemic. This type of transport is in demand among the population of the border regions," Kumar Aksakalov, Akim of the North Kazakhstan region, wrote on his page in social networks.

Also at the meeting, they discussed the project for the construction of an access railway track, which is necessary for the Maslodel oil extraction plant under construction in Petropavlovsk. A very important production for the region. The investor invests 15 billion tenge. Over 200 new jobs will be created. We agreed to approve this project as soon as possible.
