One day after the flood that affected Sucre, some merchants in the Mercado Campesino denounced that some residents of the streets surrounding that supply center covered with cement the storm drains that collapsed on Monday with hail and garbage.
There they should uncover them, they are covered with cement, said a saleswoman. They say they have cleaned the gutters, but up here they are all covered with cement Caballero, said another merchant on radio Fides in Sucre who arrived at the place. According to vendors, who lost their merchandise and their kiosks on Monday, it was the residents of the area who had those drains plugged.
The departmental prosecutor Mauricio Montalvo said that the Public Ministry will be open to a possible complaint from merchants. The attorney general, Juan Lanchipa, instructed this Tuesday to investigate whether there was an omission on the part of the municipal authorities in the control and maintenance of the storm drains in Sucre after the hailstorm on Monday.
Alcalda indicates that they cleaned
Omar Montalvo, president of the Municipal Council of Sucre, attributed to the irresponsibility of the neighbors and the merchants of throwing garbage in the arteries. There were preventive measures carried out by the Mayor, cleaning of the storm drains was carried out, but that was insufficient given the amount of water, amount of hail and the garbage that plugged the drains, the authority said.
