At a security meeting held in the La Mina area, the mayor of Valledupar, Ernesto Orozco Durán, promised to implement measures to improve security in the northern indigenous area of the city.
Together with indigenous authorities, local authorities and members of the public force, Orozco Durán announced the implementation of the Avispa Plan and the creation of permanent controls on weekends to combat insecurity in the area.
In addition, it was agreed to increase the registration of people entering the townships, both by the Police and the Army. This reinforcement of surveillance aims to more effectively control those traveling in the area, as part of strategies to protect indigenous communities.
Mayor Ernesto Orozco said: “We work for the security of our townships, that is why we implement several strategies such as the Avispa Plan, permanent controls, among others. In addition, we will support the Army so that they get a checkpoint in these towns.”
On the other hand, there was an increased need to modify certain buildings so that the Army could establish permanent control points. This step will allow the armed forces to maintain a constant presence in strategic areas, giving the residents more peace of mind and strengthening their ability to deal with potential insecurity threats.
The working group included the participation of the management council of the City of Kankuamo, Jaime Luis Arias Ramírez, representatives of the Attorney General’s Office, Personería and Valledupar councilors, who expressed their support for the new security actions and who ensured that they work hand in hand. hand with the Minister’s Office to improve security in the northern region.
