Islam Makhachev criticizes construction problems in Dagestan amid flooding

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to construction issues in Dagestan, particularly the problem of chaotic building projects. He has highlighted new low-quality residential complexes built too close together, numerous unauthorized constructions, and general urban planning disasters. Seventeen days ago, as flooding was already affecting Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to "address the construction issue," stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." Today he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs showing the urban catastrophe in Makhachkala. The post praises Makhachev for recognizing and highlighting this serious regional problem.
