Islam Makhachev highlights Makhachkala construction problems amid flooding crisis

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. The lightweight champion criticized the proliferation of low-quality residential complexes built closely together and numerous unauthorized construction projects throughout the region. Seventeen days ago, as flooding was already affecting Dagestan, Makhachev called on regional leadership to address the construction issues, stating that Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site. He recently reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs demonstrating what he described as an urban catastrophe in the city.
