Labrador stressed, in an informative contact for Point and we continue, that the collaboration in the face of the emergency is mixed: in some areas the same inhabitants of the communities have cleared the way, “out of desperation to get the production out.” In certain cases, there have been machines, but access has been made difficult.
Despite the fact that the rains decreased, the Táchira civil protection director, Yesnardo Canal, pointed out that some scattered troughs will continue, so we must be alert, because “the soils are saturated with water and give off material.”
“The recommendation to drivers is not to take these roads until complete evaluations are made on whether materials will continue to be released and landslides or landslides occur,” said the journalist.
The fuel contingency plan continues
The journalist explained that the Táchira State’s gasoline supply comes from Mene Grande and on the Machiques-Colón highway there are still problems for trucks to pass.
“They are going from intermittent matter and the contingency plan established by the fuel table to supply gasoline by license plate number continues, it is not known if it will continue next week, but the lines yesterday were very long and not all the pumps supply.”
