dwellers of Villa Los Peloteros in the Los Alcarrizos municipality, Santo Domingo province, they paralyzed traffic for a short time on Monday on the highway that leads to Los Americanos in demands for the completion of the asphalting of the streets that have not been worked on for a year.
The protest was peaceful and, according to the president of the neighborhood meeting of the sector, Gregorio Morillo, some sidewalks and curbs have been built, but the work has been left halfway through because the The Ministry of Public Works does not pay the volumes to the engineers.
The community leader said that this time it was a protest peaceful, but if they do not respond to their demands they will make another of greater magnitude on the Duarte Highway. He said that they are abandoned by the authorities because they have a lot of trash and the service of Water it is precarious.
He stated that when it rains the streets turn into a quagmire because they lack the asphalt layer and what the engineers tell them is that they are not being paid to continue with the work.
“He has totally abandoned us, there is no water, a lot of garbage, we are orphans in Villa Los Peloteros,” Morillo said.
