Residents of La Penita de Jaltemba block road after floods

Writing / The Sun of Nayarit Translated by Google

Neighbors in the town of La Peñita de Jaltemba blocked federal highway 200 in the municipality of Compostela to demonstrate the damage caused by heavy rains and floods in the region.

And it is that during the night of this Tuesday and the dawn of this Wednesday the heavy precipitations caused the overflow of a river in that locality, that left hundreds of victims.

After the unfortunate event, the settlers of the region demand that the authorities take action on the matter, since they say that a poor construction, located in the area, would have caused their homes to be flooded.

Through social networks, surfers have spread images and have shown that water from several channels of sewage also ran through the streets of the village, without – fortunately – reports of injured people.

It is not known how long this blockade will last on federal highway 200 and whether demonstrators will be able to meet with the authorities.
