Islam Makhachev highlights construction problems in Dagestan amid flooding

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has drawn attention to serious urban development issues in Dagestan, specifically criticizing the chaotic construction situation in Makhkala. Seventeen days ago, as flooding ravaged the region, Makhachev appealed to local leadership to address construction problems, stating that Makhkala has become "one messy construction site." He recently reposted content from geographer and school teacher Dmitry Koryukhin, who provided aerial photographs of Makhkala showing what he described as an urban catastrophe of poorly planned residential complexes built closely together. Makhachev's advocacy highlights infrastructure and planning concerns affecting the region.
