The condition of the road infrastructure in Nazran has given rise to criticism of officials.
Residents were forced to lay asphalt on one of the streets of Nazran themselves, but the utility workers uncovered the surface while repairing the water supply and did not restore the road, a local resident complained on social media. Other Nazran residents, commenting on his complaint, criticized officials for their dismissive attitude towards the efforts of residents who repaired the road at their own expense, and also pointed out the poor condition of other streets in the city.
One of the residents of Nazran complained about the destruction of the road that local residents had previously repaired at their own expense. According to him, after the pipe replacement, the asphalt surface was uncovered again, and the road was not restored. He stated that residents are forced to constantly repair their cars and fill in the potholes themselves.
"On the street where the migration service used to be in Nazran, the road is in terrible condition. Residents have already collected money and laid asphalt at their own expense, but after the pipe replacement, the road was dug up again, and now it is broken. We constantly repair our cars, and before we even hired a tractor to fill in the potholes," noted the local resident, whose complaint was published on October 16 by the Instagram* public themagastimes.
The author of the appeal indicated that attempts to solve the problem have not yielded results and asked for attention to be drawn to the condition of the road. "We really hope that we will be heard and measures will finally be taken!" he emphasized.
The attached video shows the asphalt road in a private residential area. Along the roadway stretches a long depression with broken edges, inside which lie large pieces of asphalt. The surface is cracked, with soil and gravel exposed in places. In certain areas, deep potholes, puddles, and height differences between the remaining asphalt and the destroyed part of the road are visible. Near one of the damaged sections, a pole with a light fabric tied to it has been installed.

Commentators criticized the utility workers and officials for the destroyed road surface. "It's just mockery of the people who repaired the road with their own money," wrote s___sova_.
"Residents pooled money for asphalt. The utility workers returned the original potholes for free," noted lors.magas.
"Such a broken street, I often go there, next to the migration service, it should have been fixed a long time ago, I don't know why the administration doesn't pay attention?" wrote master__1214.
Other participants in the discussion reported problems with road and utility infrastructure on other streets of Nazran. "The same picture at school number 12, behind the canal, constant depressions," pointed out syngor29.
"Behind the canal in Nazran on Lozovaya Street, there are not even any poles for electricity. There is no water, gas... nothing at all, and people survive on this street. They have been living like this for twenty years," complained user archavinq1.
"Every year our street is included in the budget, and magically the budget never reaches us," wrote itsnotashura.
As of 11:55 Moscow time on October 17, there were no comments on the Nazran administration's website regarding the local resident's complaint that the utility workers damaged the road that residents repaired themselves.
"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the condition of the road infrastructure in Nazran periodically becomes a reason for criticism of officials. Thus, on October 10, a city resident complained about the chaotic installation of speed bumps, which create danger for drivers and ambulances. Other local residents, commenting on his appeal, suggested replacing some of the artificial bumps with speed cameras.
