At today’s extended meeting of the Government, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov revealed when the law on the status of Alatau city will be adopted, Qazinform News Agency reports.
“Active efforts are underway at the working group level. Kanat Aldabergenovich [Kanat Bozumbayev, Deputy Prime Minister - edit] is directly engaged in this work, and we are also coordinating the issue with the Majilis and the Senate. We plan to adopt it by the end of spring,” said Bektenov.
