Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to the problem of chaotic construction in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. The lightweight champion highlighted low-quality residential developments, illegal construction, and urban sprawl that has worsened during recent flooding. Seventeen days ago, Makhachev called on regional leadership to address the construction issue, stating that Makhachkala has turned into a construction disaster zone. More recently, he reposted a geographer's aerial photos showing the extent of the urban planning crisis. The post praises Makhachev for using his platform to spotlight this regional problem.
