Road repair delays have outraged Makhachkala residents.

A pothole on Irchi Kazak Street hasn't been filled in for 173 days, according to Makhachkala residents who installed a "meter" near the hole. The head of the regional control center placed responsibility for completing repairs on the utility company.

On Irchi Kazak Street, unknown individuals installed a huge calendar, counting down the lifespan of a large fenced-off pothole. Local residents say it demonstrates the negligence of those responsible for the road situation. According to the calendar, the pothole hasn't been patched for 171 days—more than five months, reports Sapa Kavkaz.

Chernovik published another video from the site today – in it, the repair schedule, according to a tear-off calendar, is already 173 days old.

Israfil Israfilov, head of the Regional Control Center (RCC) of Dagestan, responded to the video.

He noted that the RCC regularly records cases where utility companies abandon work sites without proper repairs. "Repeated requests have been sent to the utility company regarding this specific situation," he noted.

"We really want the outcome of this interaction to be not just formal responses, but a concrete result—the elimination of the roadway violation," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that officials from the Makhachkala administration and the housing and utilities department were under investigation for negligence following an incident involving a car that drove into the October Revolution Canal. City residents have repeatedly requested that the road be made safe following numerous incidents of cars falling into the canal.
