The Rio de Janeiro government has dropped the hammer on the name of the program it will launch on Monday (17) to remove barriers in places dominated by organized crime.
It will be Barricada Zero, the same name adopted by Belford Roxo City Hall in a measure that serves as a model for the initiative of the Claudio Castro (PL) administration. Mayor Márcio Canela (Uniao Brasil) recently spoke with Castro about this topic.
As the team said, the anti-barricade plan is one of the priorities of the Castro administration after the police operation at the end of October in the poor areas of Binha and Alemão that left 121 people dead.
Barricades are usually created by organized crime using burned cars, rocks, barrels, trash, and even train tracks.
Their removal involves four departments that have the necessary equipment to remove obstacles: Environment, Infrastructure, Cities and Agriculture. Police forces will provide coverage for these removal operations.
