Melikov responded to complaints from residents of the village of Khorej

The Dagestan government will undertake the completion of a kindergarten in the village of Khorej. The ten-year, long-term project will be completed in 2026, the head of the republic promised after complaints from villagers.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that on October 17, residents of the village of Khorej in the Khivsky District of Dagestan and veterans of the military operations in Ukraine demanded that the authorities complete the kindergarten, which has been stalled since 2013, in video messages. The villagers recorded the message against the backdrop of the unfinished kindergarten building.

Sergey Melikov responded to the complaints voiced in the video message from residents of Khorej on October 21. According to the regional head, the kindergarten in question was originally planned by district authorities using local funds, but subsequently "funding ceased" and the project was abandoned.

Currently, the facility is 60% complete and listed as unfinished construction. The building has essentially been deteriorating for over seven years. Children from the village of Khorej attend kindergarten in the district center, where their parents are forced to take them daily.

Melikov stated that "today, the old problem can no longer be resolved at the local level." First Deputy Prime Minister Ruslan Aliyev has been tasked with organizing the completion of the kindergarten "until the work is fully completed."

According to Melikov, the kindergarten will open to children in 2026. "Experts will assess the building's condition shortly, after which we will determine the scope of necessary work and begin completing construction," he wrote on his official Telegram channel.
