Three days later, the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov commented on the mass poisoning of people with drinking water in the Magaramkent region. He said that everyone involved will be held accountable, and "no bureaucratic formal replies will save them from the law."

"This is not just a violation, it is a threat to the life and health of citizens. And everyone will be held accountable - strictly and according to the law! Neither position, nor connections, nor years of service will save them," the head of the region said.

Melikov called the incident the result of impunity. According to the Ministry of Construction of Dagestan, there was no purification and chlorination of drinking water during the water supply, and there were also mass accidents in the water supply.

Over the past three days, 302 people, including 294 children, received medical care due to nausea and diarrhea. 93 patients are being treated in medical institutions. The Dagestan Ministry of Health has already reported that the outbreak of intestinal infection in the Magaramkent region has begun to subside.
