Almaty Mayor Darkhan Satibaldy held a meeting to address child rights protection, adherence to building codes, city sanitation, public transport operations, and the city's winter preparations.

The meeting first tackled the prevention of violence and bullying against children and the collaboration among relevant agencies. In 2027, Almaty plans to open a dedicated center where children affected by violence can receive medical, psychological, and legal support. There was also a discussion on expanding Children's Support Center No. 1.

The next topic was the work of the urban planning control department. Currently, 1,346 projects are under construction in Almaty, including 377 public and 969 commercial projects. Since the start of the year, 1,944 unscheduled inspections have been conducted, revealing 1,236 violations. Total fines amounting to 619.4 million tenge have been imposed.

Since the beginning of October, work on 22 construction sites has been suspended. Due to violations of licensing requirements, 570 licenses have been suspended, and 45 have been revoked. Additionally, 53 illegal structures have been demolished in the city.

The transfer of engineering networks in residential complexes was also discussed. In some buildings, developers fail to hand over utilities to service organizations, causing residents to face utility disruptions. Darkhan Satibaldy instructed to tighten control over construction quality and developers' commitments.

Regarding excavation work, the mayor demanded that road surfaces be properly restored and that repeated digging on newly repaired areas be avoided.

Satibaldy also instructed to enhance the city's sanitation by promptly removing construction waste, cleaning canals, and restoring areas following repair and beautification works.

Furthermore, the mayor ordered an inspection of the city's readiness for winter and measures to improve public transport services, focusing especially on routes where residents complain of overcrowded buses during rush hours.
