A delegation from Dagestan has visited the Chechen village of Kenkhi on the order of Ramazan Abdulatipov, the leader of the republic; no violations of villagers' rights were fixed, the Dagestani leadership has stated. The head of Dagestan instructed his subordinates to study a possibility of providing temporary housing to Djalaldinov's family, which has left Chechnya.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the village of Kenkhi, Sharoi District of Chechnya, where Ramazan Djalaldinov, who had complained to President of Russia, lived, is cordoned off from May 14. Locals say that power agents demand from them to disclose Djalaldinov's whereabouts.

At night on May 12, the house of Djalaldinov's family in Kenkhi was burned down; and his wife and children were forced to go to Dagestan, where their husband and father is hiding.

As reported by a source from the press service of the head and government of Dagestan, on May 14, the above Dagestani delegation met Islam Kadyrov, the head of the administration and government of Chechnya.

"Local residents, district clergymen, the chairman of the council of veterans and the head of the village have stated the absence in Kenkhi and the municipality of any facts of harassment of ethnic Avars and any interethnic disagreements. They condemned the complaints of their fellow villager, treating them as attempts to create a hotbed of tension in the district," said the spokesman of the Dagestani leadership.

According to villagers, on May 14 the Dagestani delegation was not allowed by policemen to look at the burned-down Djalaldinov's house and other buildings destroyed during the war.
