Residents of a village in Kuban complained about the condition of roads after the snowfall.

After the snowfall, no measures were taken to clear snow and ice, even on the main street, residents of the village of Kubanskaya stated.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on December 31, following a snowfall, power was cut off for almost 85,000 residents of 63 settlements in the Belorechensky District. On January 5, officials announced that heat and water had been restored to homes in Belorechensk, but residents responded by listing the addresses of houses without heat for six days. The Chairman of the Investigative Committee demanded that a criminal case be opened based on complaints from Belorechensk residents about the prolonged absence of heat and water. On January 5, the roofs of three houses in the village of Vostochny collapsed under the weight of snow, 30 residents were evacuated to a temporary accommodation center. Two temporary temporary accommodation points in Belorechensk have been closed pending the restoration of power.

A complaint from residents of the village of Kubanskaya to the administration was published today by the Telegram channel "Typical Apsheronsk," which has over 33,000 subscribers. By 5:45 p.m. Moscow time, the message had garnered more than 3,000 views.

"We are writing to complain about the unsatisfactory condition of roads and sidewalks in the village after heavy snowfall. Unfortunately, no measures have been taken to remove snow and ice since the snowfall, even on the main street. As a result, dangerous slush and ice have formed, significantly hindering the movement of pedestrians and vehicles," the residents' message stated.

According to residents, the situation creates hazardous conditions on the roads and increases the risk of injury for residents of the village, especially for the elderly and children. As evidence, they attached photographs of an icy road on the main street (Sovkhoznaya) in the village of Kubanskaya.

"I ask you to immediately take measures to clear the roads and sidewalks of snow and ice in order to ensure the safety of the residents of the village of Kubanskaya," the villagers requested in their appeal.

Krasnodar City Duma Deputy Alexander Safronov called the events in the Belorechensky District a failure of government officials. "Considering how, even five days after the snowfall, the district administration and its head are unable to cope with the consequences of the disaster and restore normal life for the people, there are a number of very serious questions for the head of the district, Sergei Sidorenko," Safronov wrote today on his Telegram channel.

According to the deputy, the first and most important question is why the district leadership was completely unprepared for the onslaught of the elements.

"Why did the citizen information effort fail so miserably in the first few days? The internet was down, there was no power, and this was especially critical during the first two days. Incidentally, regarding citizen information: the latest news from December 29th is still posted on the district administration's official website. Why are district residents now complaining about people being banned for asking inconvenient questions on Sergei Sidorenko's Telegram channel? What kind of approach is this?" Safronov emphasized.

Safronov also wrote that when he first arrived in the district after the snowfall, he was surprised by the contrast between the roads in Adygea, which had been cleared by machinery, and the poor condition of the roads in the Belorechensky district. "As soon as we entered the district from Adygea, the road was immediately covered in snow," the deputy noted.

According to the deputy, the regional leadership must make appropriate personnel decisions, since the lives, health, and well-being of residents are at stake.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that on January 2, Krasnodar City Duma deputy Alexander Safronov reported that he and his wife had traveled to the Belorechensky District, where people have been without water, heat, and electricity for three days.
