Welcome to Chetumal.com: Your gateway to the Costa Maya

The 12 invasive families living in precarious conditions in the facilities of Expofer Chetumal marched on the offices of the delegation of the Institute for Promotion of Housing (Infovir) yesterday morning to demand from officer Julio Cesar Saury Galué a response to their requests for land.

It is recalled that on February 9 the 12 families living in a property allegedly owned by the Heritage Institute of Public Administration (IEEP) in Calderitas clashed with the State Preventative Police (PEP) to who were trying to force their eviction. After several hours of "negotiations", the military withdrew from the site located at Corozal street and Tomas Aznar of Cologne Proterritorio Extension.

The State Civil Protection Directorate announced that the influx of maritime tropical air with little moisture content from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the Yucatan Peninsula, is promoting a stable long, hot and windy time for Quintana Roo.

High temperatures recorded in this season of drought have resulted in Chetumal establishments of purified water increasing their sales. This is the case with the "Agua Azul" which recorded an increase of 25 percent, from 350 demijohns sold in the past months, they now sell up to 600 cylinders, said José Luis Martínez Lorenzo, who is in charge of the establishment.

The lack of funds prevented most of the Chetumal people from going to the tourist destinations in the tourist zones of the Costa Maya and other places around the state, but it was not enough reason to stay home. People packed into "Dos Mulas" in the town of Calderitas.

Also, since the early hours of yesterday, hundreds of families crammed into the bathing places located on Chetumal Bay Boulevard. Many came on foot, others in rental cars, and some even in their own cars.
