Samaná.- Community members from the La Chorrera area, in the municipal district of Arroyo Barril, staged a protest demanding a solution to the prolonged power outages that, according to their reports, have been affecting different sectors of that area.
During the protest, residents burned tires and placed debris on the public road, causing traffic disruptions as a pressure tactic to draw the authorities’ attention to the constant power outages.
The protesters expressed their concern about the difficulties caused by power outages in homes, businesses, and other productive activities in the community, and therefore demand a response from the authorities responsible for the electricity supply.
