Flooding and Road Construction Cripple Belarusian Village
Heavy rains have caused major disruptions in the village of Zazhen near Minsk, Belarus. A large puddle has formed on one of the main streets, making it impassable for most vehicles. This problem is compounded by ongoing road construction, which has narrowed the road and created even more challenges for drivers and pedestrians. "It's impossible to get through," said one resident, describing the situation as "a constant problem." Local authorities are aware of the issue and have stated it is temporary, but residents remain frustrated by the lack of immediate solutions. The video footage clearly shows the extent of the flooding and the difficulties faced by residents. The local government has assured residents that road construction will include improvements to drainage, but the timeline for these improvements remains unclear.
