OREANDA-NEWS At a meeting with the acting head of Dagestan, Fyodor Shchukin, Russian President Vladimir Putin asked to pay special attention to helping flood-affected residents of the region.

The head of state met with Shchukin in the Kremlin on Monday. Shchukin told the president about the aftermath of the flood. He noted that the task was complicated by the fact that a certain part of residential buildings and apartments were not registered as property and were not registered on cadastral registration.

"I just asked you to pay special attention to this. Something is not formalized. Of course, everything needs to be done on time, of course, but if people find themselves in such a situation, we need to help them," Putin said.
