Also, prevention tours will be carried out, inspections will be carried out permanently and a module will be installed for the location and recovery of missing minors in conjunction with personnel from the Municipal DIF System. “We recommend that if you bring children, they have an identification badge in case of loss to be able to locate the parents.”
He also made a call not to use pyrotechnic devices or Cambodian balloons on these dates, given the risk it represents both for people and for infrastructures such as palapas that have been affected by the balloons that fall and cause fires, among other incidents.
“A large crowd of people is expected in this area, especially from El Caballito to Los Arcos, which is why we will be permanently taking care of that space.” A fireworks show is planned to receive the New Year, which will be guarded by Civil Protection.
Likewise, the following are participating in the operation: Citizen Security with walk-throughs to monitor these areas, the Highway Sub-Directorate controlling changes to vehicular traffic, and Inspection and Regulations with surveillance of establishments.
