"Torrential rains in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan have
triggered mudslides and disrupted water and gas supplies to thousands of
people, an emergency official said Thursday.

The flooding has done more than dlrs 1.5 million in damage to bridges,
roads and homes in 12 districts of Dagestan, said Viktor Beltsov, a
spokesman for Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry.

More than 28,000 people are without running water, and nearly 40,000 are
without natural gas, because of damage to water mains and gas pipelines,
Beltsov said."
