Mazatlan, Sinaloa.- Neighbors of the Jacarandas colony announced next demonstration at the Facilities of Profepa and Semarnat to demand federal support. Colonists from that settlement demonstrated yesterday against federal authorities and environmentalists for swiring and logging in Jabalines Creek.
They ensured that these works were carried out on the orders of the governor of Sinaloa, Quirino Ordaz Coppel, in order to offer greater protection to this large housing area. However, workers had to suspend the activity when inspectors of the Federal Office of The Environmental Protection came to apply for permits to cut down the protected area. Requests
The colonists’ cry was that the authorities understood their desperation, for it has already been many years in which they have had to live with the worry of losing all their assets every time it rains. They even said they fear for their safety, because during past rainfall, the water level exceeded limits reached in previous years. Background
Last Friday, cleaning work began on Jabalines Creek to continue a new stage of dredging and cladding, after Ordaz Coppel indicated that it is necessary to continue paving works in this area to reduce the risk of flooding to the neighbors. Manifestation
The president of settlers of Jacarandas, Román Inda Villegas, exhorted the inhabitants of the areas affected by the overflow of the aforementioned stream, to a demonstration tomorrow morning at 07:00 in the morning, on the outskirts of Profepa and Semarnat, located in the Industrial Park Alfredo V. Bonfil.
