As explained by Baglanbek Aitpayev, deputy chairman of the Administrative Police Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the campaign aims to prevent offenses, ensure public safety and protect children.
About 800 teenagers needed assistance, 127 of whom were placed in adaptation centers. In Pavlodar Region, police found four young children left unattended.
