As reported by "Caucasian Knot", earlier residents of Makhachkala repeatedly complained about the flooded streets during rain due to the non-functioning storm sewer. Thus, on April 5, as a result of the rain in Makhachkala, sections of city streets and the area around the "Primorskaya" substation were flooded.

A resident of Makhachkala filmed one of the flooded streets of the city. This video was published on July 18 by the Instagram*-public tut.dagestan. The footage shows cars moving down the street, with the water level reaching their undercarriage. The video author focuses the lens on a manhole from which water is gushing.

"Makhachkala. The intersection of Kirov and Nikolaev. There is both a fountain and a lake - a complete set," the publication description says. Some local residents, commenting on this post, noted that the problem with the storm sewer in the city has been relevant for a long time.

"Here we go again," wrote user injili634. "Not surprising anymore," noted mustafaeva.s.s.

"As usual. The reducer is probably floating too. We already have a lake in front of our house," noted user zari.gosuslugi.

"This is Anzhi Bazaar. All the storm drains of Gamidov are overflowing," pointed out raisatmagomedgazieva.

Some users criticized the officials. "Will the administration ever deal with this, or will we continue to drown with every rain?" asked raisa_stilist_.

Commentators pointed out that the problems in the city remain the same. "Makhachkala is transforming every day, they wanted to write, but alas," sarcastically noted muhamad_628. "How can you not love your hometown Makhachkala?" emphasized user gereev_ya.

"There are so many cars in the yard, no one drives their own cars anymore. These floods, these problems with gasoline," wrote maratgaidarov9.
