Authorities reported the resumption of power supply in the Rutul and Akhtyn districts of Dagestan. Telegram users noted that the work following the rains that occurred six days ago took too long.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that power supply to more than 60 settlements was disrupted in Dagestan due to heavy rains that occurred on July 7-8.

Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus at the end of March and became one of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya were the most affected by the elements, according to a report from the "Caucasian Knot" "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus-2026". Materials on flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 were collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".

Specialists from "Dagenegro" have completed work on restoring power supply to consumers in the Rutul and part of the Akhtyn districts.

Due to the erosion of the riverbank by a mountain river and the collapse of a support on the 35 kV overhead line, power supply was temporarily limited. Energy workers promptly installed a new support and completed the installation of wires, the Ministry of Energy of Dagestan reported today on its Telegram channel, adding that power supply has been fully restored.

This message in the agency's Telegram channel received 4 comments. Users considered the timelines for completing the work to be too long.

"After 6 days. Promptly. Well done," writes Baggio.

"When all the food has spoiled," added Patya.

"Is this prompt after six days?" asked Marat I.

"No light as before," commented Musa Makhammad, not specifying which settlement he lives in.
