A rock fall has blocked the road and stopped motor traffic in the Tlarat District towards over 30 settlements. The municipal administration organized a pass through the blockage for the schoolchildren, who were on the way to the facilities, where their Unified State Examination (USE) was held.

According to officials, the rock fall occurred this morning.

As reported by the website of the Tlarat District Administration, the USE organizers worried about these settlements graduates' chances to get to the exams.

The rock fall occurred three kilometres off the village of Tlarat, said the Ministry for Emergencies (MfE) of Dagestan.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 1, 2016, due to a rock fall onto the road Arakan Platform-Untsukul-Sagrin Bridge, the communication with the Untsukul District of Dagestan was disrupted.
