Derbent residents resettled from dilapidated houses report stop of building new ones

Within the resettlement programme from dilapidated and emergency houses, Derbent is building 15 new houses instead of the ones demolished earlier. The construction works have been stopped at all sites, the residents of the city who wait for moving into new houses built at their old addresses have reported today.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in January, the tenants of the houses, covered by the above Derbent resettlement, began their protests against demolition of their houses and the need to move from the city centre to outskirts. Due to lack of funds in the budget, the city authorities demanded from tenants to pay all costs for their resettlement, promising in exchange to consider a possibility of moving them back to the centre after new houses are built there.

If the new houses are built slowly, tenants have expressed their readiness to hold protests in Makhachkala and Moscow, the RIA "Derbent" reports.

"If they had no enough funding, why had they demolished [the house]? If they have no money for the so-called ‘renovation’, what was the reason to demolish? If the state had already passed the respective law, so, please, finance it, "said a woman at the unfinished house No. 9 in Buinaksky Street.

"We want them to tell whether they’ll go on building or not; if not, we’ll go to Moscow to protest," said a man, who was standing at the same building.
