Noticias Pasto

En el barrio El Recuerdo, ubicado en la comuna 2 al sur de Pasto, habitantes decidieron tomar la iniciativa y protestar contra el gobierno local «por el abandono» en sus vías, así que sembraron árboles en cada hueco.

Este acto de manera simbólica, lo realizaron tras varios años de peticiones, gestiones y reclamos que han hecho ante la administración municipal.

El presidente de la Junta de Acción Comunal, Alfonso Ortega, dijo que no han obtenido soluciones.

TuBarco Noticias Pasto habló con los habitantes del barrio El Recuerdo para conocer más de dicha problemática que aqueja a todo el sector.

Protesta

Al llegar al sector, se confirmó que con las fuertes lluvias y el alto tráfico que se presenta en la calle 20 C carrera 10 del barrio El Recuerdo, los árboles sembrados fueron arrancados.

Sin embargo, los habitantes salieron a hablar de la problemática que viven.

«Hicimos una protesta simbólica sembramos arbolitos, para que las autoridades o el Alcalde, -nos paren bolas-, nos tenga en cuenta y que pavimenten rápido, porque si no nos tocará tomarnos la vía a nosotros los habitantes de este barrio», dijo Hernán Lazo, un habitante de dicho sector.

Grandes huecos

Es evidente el deterioro de la vía y los grandes huecos, -uno de ellos hasta 4 metros de longitud-, dificultando la movilidad, en dicho sector aledaño al terminal de transportes de la ciudad y al hospital Departamental.

En invierno la problemática de la vía es más grave.

Don Hernán advirtió que que es casi imposible caminar por este sector, cuando llueve al transitar los carros caen en los huecos y el agua, con el barro «le pega a uno».

Los habitantes están preocupados y manifiestan que el mal estado de su vía les ha causado daños en sus viviendas.

«Cuando pasan esos carros y tracto mulas frenan y por evitar los huecos, se accidentan con el antejardín de muchas viviendas, ya han habido personas heridas, porque acá pasa mucho niño, joven en bicicleta y adultos mayores», manifestó un habitante.

Piden soluciones

La comunidad de este sector manifiesta que esta problemática viene hace años atrás, ahora sembraron árboles en los huecos, pero antes han protestado de otras formas y tampoco «hemos sido escuchados».

«Yo vivo hace 16 años y esto siempre ha sido así, porque las mulas que pasan han dañado la vía, eso es un problema y hace bastante tiempo», indicaron.

Hasta el momento «no han venido a darnos una solución», denunció Dilia Pérez fiscal de la JAC.

“Nosotros queremos pedirle a infraestructura que por favor tome cartas en el asunto ya que tiene esto mucho tiempo, el año pasado nos vinieron a tomar medidas y a cortar, se fueron y no hicieron nada”, manifestó Ana Fuenmayor, habitante.

Por otro lado los habitantes piden que el material que se vaya a utilizar en la pavimentación de dicha vía, sea para transporte pesado.

“No queremos que le echen asfalto porque esta calle quedo como la vía principal de nuestro barrio, ya que por el Parque Bolívar hay semaforización todos los carros pasan por acá para evitarlo”, dijo Jaime Guerrero, otro habitante.

Finalmente los ciudadanos expresan que: “Nosotros estamos cansados, como dice la palabra mamados del deterioro de la calle, y al presidente de la JAC nos llamó a unirnos y que era la única vía para que nos hagan caso “.

Sembraron árboles en los huecos, pero si no hay respuestas, advierten que tomarán otras acciones.

They are, therefore, new data since last Friday, February 25.

In these four days, all the indicators of the pandemic have continued to drop significantly.

New infections and accumulated incidence

The total number of people infected since the pandemic broke out almost two years ago exceeds 11 million (11,036,085).

Putin Must Not Be Allowed to Flout International Humanitarian Law

Geneva —
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns that rules of the international order that help protect peace and security will be weakened if Russian President Vladimir Putin is allowed to get away with his premeditated invasion of Ukraine.

In a video address to the U.N. Human Rights Council, Blinken warned the human rights and humanitarian crises affecting Ukraine will get worse if Putin succeeds in toppling the country’s democratically elected government.

“Look at Crimea, where Russia’s occupation has come with extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture, arbitrary detention, the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, the brutal repression of dissent. … Reports of Russia’s human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law are mounting by the hour,” Blinken said.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine six days ago, Blinken notes Russian strikes against civilians and civilian infrastructures have escalated. He says schools, hospitals and residential buildings have been targeted. He says critical infrastructure providing millions of people with drinking water, with gas to prevent them from freezing, with electricity to keep the lights on has been destroyed.

“The High Commissioner said yesterday that Russia’s attacks had killed at least a hundred civilians, including children, and wounded hundreds more — and said she expects the real figures are much higher. … Russia’s violence has driven over half a million Ukrainians from the country in just a few days,” Blinken said. “Children, the elderly, people with disabilities, who are making harrowing journeys through conflict zones.”

The Kremlin insisted Tuesday that Russian troops don’t conduct any strikes against civilian infrastructure and residential areas.

The U.N. Refugee Agency is preparing for up to 4 million Ukrainians to flee for safety to neighboring countries. UNHCR officials say the situation looks set to become Europe’s largest refugee crisis this century.

Blinken says Russia’s repression does not stop at Ukraine’s borders. He says the Kremlin also is ramping up its repression within Russia. He says human rights defenders, journalists, Putin’s political opponents have long been subjected to harassment, intimidation, poisoning and imprisonment.

He says this treatment now is being meted out to Russians peacefully protesting the invasion of Ukraine. He says thousands have been detained, and anyone found to be assisting a foreign country or organization could be imprisoned for up to 20 years.

Beneficiaries of the project are not respecting the suspension. On Saturday, a commission from the Comptroller’s Office was verifying. We had to bring police to comply with the interruption of the work

“The beneficiaries of this project are not respecting the suspension. On Saturday, a commission from the Comptroller General of the Republic was verifying the issue. We had to take the police to comply with the interruption of the work”, stressed a member of the Environmental Forum of Cesar.

The Hurtado hill is part of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain systemconsidered one of the sacred sites of the indigenous people of this region, which is made up of 37 hectares of tropical dry forest, which strengthen the biodiversity reservoir of the urban area of Valledupar.

It also forms, on its eastern slope, one of its peripheral foothills that make it a benchmark for the green infrastructure of the city and a natural heritage of this town.

It is connected to the basin that contributes to the Guatapurí River, the main tributary of the capital of Cesar, where numerous species of regional flora are found, some already centuries old, which have become the support, the habitat, of an important population of wild animals. .

“Without the existence of this ecosystem, it is very likely that the current population of animals, adjacent to the Hurtado spa, could disappear in a short time; and, that of birds would also decrease significantly, affecting the biodiversity and its genetic wealth in this area”, explained Eudis De León, spokesperson for the Environmental Forum of Cesar.

Soil intervention that will destroy its physical structure and affect the stability of the terrain. It is a considerable damage not only to the soil but also to the vegetation that will be cut down.

The work is part of an urban project that contemplates the construction of 33 houses in an approximate area of 11,000 square meters in this sector, after the approval of a modification of the Territorial Ordering Plan (POT), which allowed the development of housing projects in this zone.

“However, the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cesar (Corpocesar), urges the municipality to carry out the review and adjustment of the urban component of the POT because its short-term validity has expired, in order to apply measures to protect the 100% of the Hurtado hill”, stressed Corpocesar.

For the environmental group, the construction of the first house in said “block F” will be the starting order and the legitimacy for the urbanization of this entire area.

According to them, the construction of houses will require the prior leveling of the land due to its steep slope, which causes a negative impact on the ecosystem in general.

“Soil intervention that will destroy its physical structure and affect the stability of the terrain. It is a considerable damage not only to the soil but also to the vegetation that will be cut down, if the depth (30 meters) and the width (12 meters) of each of the thirty-three (33) lots estimated for construction are taken into account. of the houses”, highlighted the spokesman.

Ongoing lawsuit

The presence of inhabitants of these houses, about 200 people, will generate unbearable odors and noise pollution for the animals that have the Hurtado hill as their natural habitat.

In addition, during the construction phase of the project, noise levels will be generated that will scare off birds and many other animals that are sensitive to human interventions in that ecosystem.

This would be an irreparable and traumatic damage, since it would affect the health and psychological tranquility of the population. It will end its cultural importance and destroy a natural and tourist heritage of the city.

“The permanent presence of the inhabitants of these houses, approximately 200 people, will generate unbearable odors and sound pollution for the animals that have the Hurtado hill as their natural habitat, irreversibly affecting their biodiversity,” the spokesperson said.

At present, a demand or individualized compliance agreement is in progress that seeks to stop said work.

“It is aimed at protecting the rights and collective interests of citizens, seeking to avoid contingent damage, to put an end to the danger, threat, violation or injury on all the hills of the city. We raise the request for the suspension of the work until the Honorable Administrative Court of Cesar is pronounced on the merits, “said Silvio Alonso Cuello Chinchilla, representative of Valledupar.
