Municipality of Lima: these are the 5 restaurants in downtown Lima that were closed for unhealthy and unsafe

As part of the actions carried out for Holy Week in the Historic Center, the Municipality of Lima closed five restaurants that operated in unsanitary conditions and did not comply with safety regulations.

Recall that spoiled foods can be transmitters of serious diseases such as: hepatitis, salmonella or stomach infections.

That is why, the staff of Inspection, Health and Disaster Risk Management inspected these businesses, which offered cebiche among their main dishes, and detected the presence of cockroaches and rodent excreta, as well as fruits in a state of decomposition, among the foods prepared for consumption by customers.

Shops sanctioned for not having optimal hygiene conditions are Big Brothers, Cordon Blue, El Rincón de Olaya and Ellen's House. Meanwhile, the premises under the trade name Hellen's House were closed because it did not have adequate security measures in place.

For these serious offenses, the mayor initiated a sanctioning administrative process against these businesses and imposed a fine of 2 ITU (tax unit), equivalent to S/9,200. In addition, it ordered its closure until the infringing conduct is regularized.

The Municipality of Lima urges the owners of these establishments to comply with the established health and safety standards, in order to avoid sanctions. In addition, he announced that these operations will continue during Holy Week.

MUNICIPALITY OF LIMA COLLECTS 450 TONS SOLID WASTE

In order to keep the streets clean, safe and recover public spaces, the Municipality of Lima managed a collection campaign in which the districts of La Victoria and El Agustino also participated.

In a statement, the Municipality of Lima informed the community that 450 tons of solid waste were collected after interdistrict operations during the month of March, in the Cercado de Lima as part of the actions to liberate public spaces in the capital.

The metropolitan commune explained in that document that a total of 453.5 tons of solid waste were collected after nine days of collection in the different areas of the district, such as Nicolás Ayllón, Aviación, 28 de Julio, Grau and Pacasmayo avenues, as well as the Huancavelica, Huarochirí, Ascope, Acomayo, Garcia Villón, Cárcamo, Junín and Manuel Telleria.

In these spaces, 30 employees of the municipal house collected wood, furniture, chairs, tables, cardboard, plastics, construction waste, among others.

Many of these actions were carried out thanks to the management and coordination with the municipalities of the districts of La Victoria and El Agustino, aligned with the objectives of sustainable development.

Skid steer loaders, side trucks, tippers, a tanker and a compact truck were used to carry out the work. In addition, the personnel in charge correctly used protective equipment, which includes gloves, romper, helmet, mask or mask, and safety footwear.

Faced with this, the inhabitants of these districts were in favor of the measures taken by the municipality, since this waste brought the presence of rodents and people took the opportunity to leave garbage on the corners of the main avenues. That is why they supported the action and requested that this work also be in conjunction with the serenades to protect the streets from the growth of robberies and assaults.
