43,000 residents of Dagestan have applied for financial assistance.

Over 43,000 applications for financial assistance have been received from those affected by the severe weather in Dagestan. The republic's authorities have offered to exempt flood victims from property taxes and loan payments until the end of the year.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by March 30, a state of emergency due to flooding had been declared in Makhachkala, Buynaksk, Dagestanskiye Ogni, Kaspiysk, Khasavyurt, and three districts of Dagestan: Khasavyurt, Karabudakhkent, and Derbent. By April 1, 822 residential buildings and 58 road sections remained flooded in five municipalities of Dagestan, and a state of emergency was also declared in the Gumbetovsky, Babayurtovsky, and Novolaksky districts of the republic. In Makhachkala, not all residents are able to use the water supply; many have to buy bottled water. By April 2, the state of emergency due to flooding was extended to 12 municipalities of Dagestan. The republic's authorities have accepted more than four thousand applications for compensation for damage caused by the floods.

More than 43,000 applications for financial assistance from those affected by the severe weather in Dagestan have been received, according to the regional governor's administration's Telegram channel.

A total of more than 43,000 applications for funds have been received, according to Magomedzagid Kikhasurov, head of the Ministry of Labor of the Republic of Dagestan.

"Payments are being made from the republic's reserve fund. The payment process has already begun," he noted.

However, 24,000 applications did not specify an address, preventing the payment process from being initiated. The head of the republic instructed that this issue be addressed locally, the statement said.

Individuals and legal entities affected by the emergency in Dagestan should be exempt from paying property taxes until December 31, 2026, Melikov stated. He also added that Dagestan will ask the Bank of Russia to defer loan repayments for affected residents of the republic until the end of the year and not to charge penalties for deferring payments as compensation for damage caused by the emergency.

In addition, a deferment of payments will be granted until the end of the year to tenants of republican and municipal property damaged as a result of natural and man-made emergencies.
