Residents of Stary Sivukh demanded Melikov's attention to the village's problems
The residents of Stary Sivukh have been fighting for the restoration of the village for eight years, but the district administration is opposing this, the villagers said in an appeal to the head of Dagestan.
As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel", in an appeal distributed on February 24 to the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov, the residents of the villages of Sivukh and Stary Sivukh asked to withdraw the draft law, which includes Stary Sivukh in the territory of the Tsilitlinsky village council. "The village of Stary Sivukh is unlawfully included in the municipal boundaries of the village of Tsilitl, contrary to the text of the law of the Republic of Dagestan "On the status and municipal boundaries of municipal formations of the Republic of Dagestan", in which the village of Stary Sivukh is part of the village council of Mekheltinsky," the villagers noted in their appeal. The head of Dagestan responded to the residents of the villages of Sivukh and Stary Sivukh, who demanded that the bill be withdrawn, which includes Stary Sivukh in the territory of the village council of Tsilitlinsky, promising to discuss the issue.
In 1944, the residents of Sivukh were forcibly resettled into the houses of deported Chechens, and their lands were distributed between the collective farms of the neighboring settlements of Tsilitl and Mekhelta. In 1957, when the Chechens were allowed to return to their homes, the Sivukh residents were allocated lands of the Kutans in the Khasavyurt district for housing construction, and they settled there. After the collapse of the USSR, the former lands of the village of Sivukh were transferred to the republican land fund, they have the status of agricultural land, an employee of the Gumbetovsky district administration told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier.
Residents of the villages of Sivukh and Stary Sivukh recorded an appeal to the Head of the Republic Sergei Melikov right at the "Day of the Village of Sivukh" event. Residents are asking the Head of Dagestan to pay attention to the abuses by the Gumbetovsky District administration and take control of the problem, Novoye Delo reported today.
As follows from the video, dozens of people have gathered in the clearing. A man reads out an appeal from the villagers, he said that they are asking for protection from the illegal actions of the Gumbetovsky District administration and the Tsilitlinsky village council. According to him, for eight years now, the villagers have had to fight with the district authorities for the restoration of the village of Stary Sivukh.
"The village was removed from the gasification program, there is no centralized water supply, the district does not place solid municipal waste collection points in the village, there is no street lighting, the village is not a participant in the rural development program," he said.
The authors of the appeal asked Melikov to take the issue under personal control, assist in protecting the legal rights of the residents of Stary Sivukh, give instructions to all interested departments and monitor the work of the government commission to resolve the conflict between the villages of Sivukh and Tsilitl.
We remind you that the residents of Stary Sivukh and Tsilitl have been in conflict over land for several years. Back in 2020, the Dagestani authorities created a special interdepartmental commission to resolve the conflict. That same year, the Muftiate of Dagestan imposed a million-ruble fine on the village of Tsilitl for violating agreements on a peaceful resolution of a land dispute related to the return to Stary Sivukh of the descendants of people evicted from there.
On September 6, 2024, government officials did not allow residents of the village of Stary Sivukh to hold a protest against the actions of officials from the Gumbetovsky District, who took the side of residents of another village in a land dispute.
