Curfew declared in Planadas after attack, mayor confirms

The mayor of Planadas, Juan Camilo Hueje Ribera, confirmed tonight a curfew and the complete evacuation of the CEATI after an attack.

--- The context --- Planadas, in Tolima, ended tonight under extraordinary measures. In a public message, its mayor, Juan Camilo Hueje Ribera, confirmed decisions after an attack described as a terrorist attack. --- The facts --- According to what the mayor confirmed, a curfew was declared and the CEATI was completely evacuated. Injured people are being treated at the Domingo Savio school. The mayor lamented the death of some people, without giving a figure. --- The positions --- The mayor's office expressed mourning and called for unity. The mayor thanked the people for their solidarity and thanked the governor of Tolima and the public health network for their support. --- What remains unknown --- There is no verified figure for those who died, were injured or were affected, nor a quantification of the losses. Nor has it been reported who would be responsible. Verification remains under way, the mayor said. --- Unanswered questions --- How many people died and how many were injured? When will the complete quantification of those affected and of the losses be known? Who is responsible for the attack? How long will the curfew remain in force? --- EPM analysis --- The response placed the emphasis on protecting the population and caring for the injured. The evacuation and the curfew seek to make room for that care, while the community responds with solidarity. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the priority in Planadas is life and the care of the affected people, above any rushed balance. The mayor communicated concrete measures, lamented the deaths and kept the verification open, without advancing figures that are not yet confirmed. That prudence protects families. Now it is time to sustain the care, complete the quantification and deliver certainty to a municipality that needs accompaniment and unity.
