"For the purpose of operational state environmental control in case of emergency situations with environmental pollution, work is being carried out to amend the legislation in terms of appointing unscheduled inspections (including outside working hours) without prior notice to the subject of control and registering the act on appointing an inspection with its subsequent submission within the next working day to the authorized body for legal statistics and special records. Thus, all necessary measures are being taken to resolve environmental issues in the regions and improve the environmental situation," Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov said, responding to a request from Senate deputies.
