Villagers in Dagestan have asked for help due to a road collapse.

The only road connecting the village of Irib in Dagestan's Charodinsky District to the outside world could collapse at any moment. Authorities have not yet closed the road, and people continue to use it; appeals to the district administration have yielded no results.

As reported by Kavkazsky Uzel, roads to four villages in the Charodinsky District were closed after a landslide and a mudflow onto the roadway.

The only road connecting the village of Irib and about ten other villages to the outside world is in critical condition. After the landslide, the asphalt literally hangs over the cliff, but traffic is unrestricted, as people simply have no alternative.

The villagers' appeal was published on the Mash Gor Telegram channel, which has over 45,000 subscribers. By 7:30 PM Moscow time, the post had garnered more than two thousand views.

"We are in the village of Irib, and behind us is a road that is about to collapse. We came to report on this situation. The village head is with us, and we will now tell you about the situation with the road," the man says in the video.

There are residential buildings nearby; a collapse could take out not only the road but also part of the ground along with the buildings. The village head has appealed to the authorities several times, but, according to him, there has been no response so far.

"This is the height here, and if heavy equipment or a Kamaz truck were to fall through, consider it a casualty. There are 10 more villages from here, and this road would collapse. Look down at how high it is," he says.

The goal of the appeal is to draw the attention of higher authorities to the problem and obtain assistance to prevent the road from collapsing, the village representative added.

Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and have become some of the most devastating in recent years. Six residents of Dagestan, including three minors, died as a result of the flooding. Additionally, on April 13, a 19-year-old volunteer died in the hospital after suffering a severe traumatic brain injury while helping residents of the Derbent district.

Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026". The Caucasian Knot compiled materials about flooding in the North Caucasus Federal District republics in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
