President Dina Boluarte on Monday supervised the desilting, cleaning, and dike-construction works on the left bank of the Chillon River in the Chuquitanta Association sector, San Martin de Porres district, Lima.

These actions enhance the safety of more families and reduce the risk of river swells and overflows.

On this occasion, the Head of State was accompanied by Housing, Construction, and Sanitation Minister Durich Whittembury and the Executive Director of the ministry's Our Cities Program.

Experts informed the top official about the deployment of work teams along the Chillon River for desilting works, supported by heavy machinery.

The Ministry of Housing, Construction, and Sanitation is taking action in this sector in response to increased rainfall and the rising flow of the river.
