Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction in Dagestan amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to the problem of uncontrolled construction in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in the region, Makhachev publicly appealed to regional leadership to address the construction chaos, stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." The issues include low-quality apartment complexes built too close together and numerous illegal self-built structures. Today, Makhachev reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs of Makhachkala illustrating the urban planning disaster. Makhachev's advocacy highlights his concern for his home region beyond his fighting career.
