During the meeting, the local governor, along with representatives of the Colombian Navy, the National Police, the People's Representative for human rights and the Inspector's Office, analyzed the situation and generated a series of commitments for the maintenance of law and order.
The Colombian Navy reiterated the sustained work of its troops in order to protect the inhabitants and guarantee minimum security conditions, counteracting the criminal operations of the different illegal groups that seek to alter the tranquility in the region.
