Residents of Makhachkala are protesting for the third time in a week due to frequent power outages.

Officials arrived to address the protesters, after which they dispersed. The republic's government blamed the power outages on a disconnected feeder, which balances voltage at various points in the distribution system.We were able to have a constructive conversation with citizens.

As residents of the village told NeMoskva GearboxFor the second week, their lights have been turned off at 10 am and turned on closer to midnight.Today, a child got stuck in the elevator on the 9th floor and got scared. Mothers have to go up to the 11th floor with strollers. What can we do about this? There are days when we can't take the children to kindergarten because they can't cook food due to the power outage. And without power, there's no water because the pumps aren't working.“,” says NeMoskva’s interlocutor, Saida. 

«Peter 1, the gearbox is like the Bermuda Triangle.", says another resident of the village. They turn off the power at 11:00 AM, turn it on again at 19:00 PM, and then, according to their schedule, turn it off at 20:00 PM and until 22:00 PM.
