Novocherkassk residents complained to Putin about a broken road and a bridge in disrepair.

Residents of Novocherkassk and nearby villages have appealed to the Russian president to have city authorities repair the dilapidated road on Partizanka Ulyana Gromova Street. They say they have been unsuccessfully trying for years to get this important section of the road repaired, connecting Novocherkassk and the Krasyukovskaya settlement.

According to residents, Ulyana Gromova Street is a major thoroughfare, used by thousands of vehicles daily. Traffic is especially heavy during rush hour. The road is regularly used by military personnel and their families, employees of businesses, including factories, as well as public transportation, ambulances, fire department vehicles, and police. However, residents are calling the road's condition critical.

A video appeal from residents was published by the Telegram channel "Bloknot Rostov," which has nearly 41,000 subscribers. By 9:00 PM, the post had garnered more than 1,500 views.

"There have been problems with the road surface in this area for over 10 years. People have repeatedly filed complaints, but only received formal replies or road grading, which helped until the first rain," local residents report.

According to those gathered, the bridge over the Grushevka River, located on Ulyana Gromova Street, was reconstructed in 2023. Residents expected the city administration to fulfill its promises and improve the road, sidewalk, and street lighting. However, in 2024, they learned that funding for this work was unavailable. Residents then raised funds themselves to fill and level the roadway, knowing it was only a temporary measure.

"Currently, the road is in a deplorable state, posing a danger to both pedestrians and drivers. The bridge near 30 Ulyana Gromova Street is also in disrepair. It could collapse at any moment," residents complain.

Outraged residents emphasized that after appealing to the Russian Investigative Committee, they were ordered to open a criminal case. The regional Investigative Committee responded promptly, and a case was opened. However, the investigation has not yielded any results to date. In this regard, city residents are turning to the president for help.

"We urge you to help with our enormous problem and punish those responsible for inaction and negligence," local residents concluded.

On March 4, 2026, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Bastrykin ordered a criminal case to be opened in connection with a complaint about inadequate road infrastructure in Novocherkassk, according to a message from the agency's information center on its Telegram channel.

Then, based on a complaint from residents, Bastrykin instructed Acting Head of the Investigative Committee for the Rostov Region Stanislav Kovalev to submit a report on the progress and results of the investigation.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that authorities in three districts of the Rostov region are refusing to recognize the ownership of the Parksheyev farmstead, which has only one remaining resident, pensioner Viktor Tkachenko. He is seeking recognition of the registered ownership of the house, located at the junction of three districts, in order to install gas.
