Unsanitary conditions due to the pollution of the Nazranka River have become a problem for the residents of Gamurzievo.

The water in the Nazranka River near the village of Gamurzievo in Ingushetia is becoming dirty and murky, presumably due to the discharge of sewage, a local resident reported on social media. Other locals, commenting on his message, said that they have been suffering from an unpleasant smell due to the river's pollution for a long time. They demanded a response from the authorities and threatened mass appeals to the prosecutor's office.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the problem of river pollution, including the Sunzha River into which the Nazranka flows, has been relevant in Ingushetia for a long time. On June 30, residents and activists of the Sernovodsky district of Chechnya independently cleaned up the banks of the Sunzha River in the section flowing through Chechnya.

Murky and dirty water flows through the Nazranka River near Gamurzievo, a local resident reported. According to him, upstream the water remains clear, but at a certain section it changes color. He linked this to a possible discharge of sewage.

"Starting from this section, all the water in the river becomes dirty and murky. Before this point, the water was clean," he pointed out in a video published by the publication "Fortanga" on its Instagram page*.

As of 17:45 Moscow time on November 15, this post in the Instagram*-public fortangaorg, which has about 142.7 thousand followers, received 241 likes and 47 comments.

Local residents complained in the comments about the pollution of the Nazranka and the unpleasant smell coming from the river in the area of Gamurzievo. They noted that the problem has existed for a long time and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a solution.

"In the summer, it's impossible to breathe here in Gamurzievo because of this sewage. When will you be satisfied, the management responsible for this? Fear Allah. Think about your descendants if you don't care about others. Water is life not only for people but for all living beings," a user lns111956 exclaimed.

"Here in Gamurzievo, they cut down large trees near the river and threw them straight into the water and left them like that, and sewage is being discharged there. Who is responsible for this? It's high time to address this issue; it's impossible to breathe even if you are kilometers away from this place," g1alg1ay_bart said.

"How many times have we complained? Everyone knows about this <…>," user douglas489167 pointed out.

Other commentators demanded a response from the authorities and supervisory bodies. They suggested sending complaints to the prosecutor's office and law enforcement agencies, and also called on the Ministry of Nature of Ingushetia to respond.

"Authorities, take urgent measures. Otherwise, complaints to the prosecutor's office will follow!" warned kon_trol.

"Immediately file a complaint with the General Prosecutor's Office of the country and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. If that doesn't help, then to the president's administration," suggested evloev_ibragim_yhyevich.

In the comments to the publication, the Ministry of Nature of Ingushetia left its reaction. According to the agency's response, 186 million rubles have been allocated for the cleaning of the Nazranka, and work will begin in 2028. However, the ministry did not comment on the complaints of local residents about the pollution of the river.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the problem of pollution of territories with household waste and the formation of landfills has been relevant in Ingushetia for a long time. For example, on September 1, 2026, residents of the Nesterovskaya stanitsa complained about the acrid smoke from a burning landfill, which, according to them, made it difficult to open windows and stay outside. On January 28, the authorities reported the elimination of an illegal landfill on Engels Street in Sunzha, where local residents continued to throw construction and household waste despite previously taken measures. Cleanup work was carried out after repeated complaints from residents and intervention by regional authorities.
