(MENAFN- AzerNews)
The National Border Guard Service of Panama has closed three
illegal crossings from Colombia in the Darien jungle,
Azernews reports.
"As part of Operation Shield, the armed forces have taken
measures to control mass illegal migration. We are talking about
blocking three illegal crossings used by illegal migrants on the
Pacific and Caribbean coasts," the Panamanian border guards
noted.
The department added that patrolling of trails popular among
illegal immigrants has also been strengthened. At the same time,
one of these routes leading to the Ito de Chukurti area was blocked
by special barriers.
"Three unauthorized trails have been blocked in order to direct
the flow of illegal migrants through the Cañas Blancas crossing,
which leads to the city of Bajo Chiquito, in order to concentrate
our protection and humanitarian assistance efforts there more
effectively," the border guards explained.
"With the arrival of the new government of President Jose Raul
Mulino, it is planned to launch a new campaign called Darien, which
aims to ensure a climate of peace and tranquility in this region of
the country," the ministry concluded.
