📋 Tender Overview
Sucame and the Fiscal Police will intervene in companies that usually transport fireworks as merchandise at this time of year. At a working meeting held at the municipal library Eufemio Lora y Lora, members of the Provincial Civil Defense Platform of Chiclayo approved a preventive plan, which highlights the development of an aggressive awareness campaign called NO TO FIREWORKS and the burning of dolls.
Awareness is mandatory no matter what and it starts now, said Mayor Janet Cubas, at the end of the meeting in which the National Police, Firefighters, Civil Defense of the commune participated; and the representative of the Lambayeque Zonal Office of the National Superintendence of Control of Security Services, Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives for Civil Use-SUCAME.
We have approved this plan today and within it is a proposal to promote a whole campaign to say no to the burning of dolls (...) we are talking about an awareness issue. Once we do this, through a very intense campaign at all the schools, we would be in a better position to be able - if necessary - to issue a document, an ordinance, an agreement of obligatory compliance; but, the issue of awareness is that it is obligatory no matter what, and it starts now.
Todays event is to prevent all unauthorized fireworks, which entails deploying a whole awareness-raising effort in different places, and the work on electrical risk, etc. Today we met with the actors of the institutions to approve the plan and start implementing it now, said the leader of the provincial government.
According to what she announced, SUCAME has the work together with the Fiscal Police to be able to identify those companies that around these dates begin to transport, under the modality of merchandise, pyrotechnic products that begin to arrive in the city and from here they are distributed in different points. They have already identified these companies.
There is also the intelligence work to identify those places that are used as warehouses for pyrotechnic products; Taking into account what was done last year, this time things can flow in the best way, the provincial leader stressed. She recalled that last year there was a fire scare on Cuglievan Street (to get to Arica) caused by a primus where they usually cook pork rinds, street food; since that area is also closed to vehicular traffic, we have to strengthen ourselves as a municipality, at the level of municipal police and citizen security, she said. She emphasizes that this effort is being coordinated with the police, in order to provide greater security to the population and that the event that occurred last year does not happen again.
She specified that there is a proposal to say no to fireworks, I think that no one is opposed, much less the members who have participated in the Roundtable; however, we have to be careful with those merchants who do have the authorization of Sucame, because there are fireworks that are authorized; then we could not contravene what is indicated in the norm. We are going to carry out a fairly aggressive campaign in coordination or articulation with UGEL to be able to reach all schools en masse, and also promote what the non-burning of dolls would mean. Traditionally, this happens in El Porvenir and Diego Ferre, where the population burns large dolls.
Considering that it is a deep-rooted custom, the mayor points out that it would be necessary to talk to them, remembering that in those areas there are electric cables. There are customs that have been rooted in the population for years; however, I believe that what should prevail is the care of the elderly, of people with different abilities, of the little ones, concluded Dr. Janet Cubas.
