Villagers in the Zolsky district demanded that officials resolve the issue with the bridge.
The bridge on Musova Street in the village of Zalukodes in the Zolsky district of Kabardino-Balkaria has been in emergency condition for about a year, forcing children to detour on their way to school and kindergarten, a local resident complained on social media. Other villagers, commenting on her complaint, criticized the officials and demanded that they repair the bridge.
One of the residents of the village Zalukodes in the Zolsky district of Kabardino-Balkaria complained that parents of children no longer know where to turn due to the condition of the bridge on Musova Street. According to her, the local administration is not addressing the problem.
"The bridge that children used to take to kindergarten/school is in emergency condition, meaning it is impossible to even pass. It has been broken for a year now. It seems money was raised, but nothing was done, please take action. It’s already muddy, it will rain soon and there will be snow, it’s a pity for the children, especially the first graders," she wrote.
The resident added that parents intend to file a complaint with the prosecutor's office.

"Take action," demanded user molnia777___, tagging the account of the Zolsky district administration.
"The administration is asleep. The prosecutor's office in this district will probably do nothing either. They are masters of issuing formal replies in a short time," stated user bjj_037.
"There’s no money, but hang in there," sarcastically remarked saimon87491.
"Well, if the administration is asleep, we will file a lawsuit," threatened user molnia777___ in another comment.
