Makhachev highlights urban development problems in Dagestan amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. The issue includes poorly built residential complexes placed too close together and numerous unauthorized constructions. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address construction issues, stating that Makhachkala had become one big chaotic construction site. Today he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photos of Makhachkala demonstrating what was described as an urban catastrophe. The post praises Makhachev for recognizing and highlighting this regional problem.
